Riot police spotted on streets of Cumnock after disorder in Auchinleck

POLICE with riot shields were spotted on the streets of Cumnock on Sunday night - 24 hours after large-scale disorder in nearby Auchinleck.

Officers were deployed in the Dalgleish Avenue, Holland Crescent and McClymont Court and Walker areas of Cumnock, with riot shields and a heavy police presence spotted in the area.

It follows a weekend of unrest in Auchinleck, when an officer was taken to hospital after being struck by a firework during what police described "an incident of large-scale disorder" on Saturday evening.

In Cumnock on Sunday, there were reports of windows being smashed and objects once again being thrown at officers.

Workers were seen clearing up the mess in the area on Monday morning.

Police Scotland have been contacted for comment.
