Head teachers in East Lothian held a 'problem-solving' conference to tackle problems with antisocial behaviour involving pupils in towns across the county.
Concern over an increase in incidents over the last year saw education chiefs step in to support childrens services and Police Scotland tackle the problem.
East Lothian's head of education Nicola McDowell told a virtual meeting of the local authority's education committee today that the head teachers had been keen to get involved in the issue.
