A WOMAN allegedly tried to resist arrest after she was caught reportedly flouting court orders in Helensburgh.

Police officers say the 40-year-old, from Alexandria, breached a non-harassment order after she was found within an address in the town.

The incident, which took place around 7.58pm on Tuesday, April 16, saw the woman allegedly resist the police's attempts to arrest her.

She was held in custody and is due to appear at Dumbarton Sheriff Court at a later date.
