Police have cracked down on antisocial behaviour in Dundee city centre.
Officers have arrested and charged four teens in connection with two separate incidents.
A 15-year-old boy was charged on Sunday evening with assaulting members of staff at McDonald’s in Reform Street.
The same evening officers also dealt with complaints of youths causing problems in Castle Street and Murraygate.
Meanwhile three male youths aged 13, 15 and 16 have now been identified and charged in connection with a fireraising at the rear of premises in Murraygate which took place on Sunday 23rd January.
Lines of enquiry are continuing in relation to others involved in this incident.
Sergeant Chris Grieve from the Dundee City Centre Community Team said:
“While these two incidents are not directly related, they are indicative of the types of issues we are dealing with in the city centre on practically a nightly basis.
“Staff at establishments which are open in the evening are repeatedly reporting to us that they are being verbally, and at times physically, abused by young people attending at their stores and causing trouble.
“This also inevitably leads to those who are not involved in this type of behaviour being suspected of doing so.
“We would again ask parents and carers for their assistance in knowing where their youngsters are, who they are with, and what they are doing.
“We appreciate that this isn’t always easy, but it should certainly be impressed on them that unless they have a legitimate reason for being in the centre in the mid to late evening, then staying away is the best way keep out of trouble.”
