A teenager has been charged in connection with the possession of a pyrotechnic within a football ground whilst at Aberdeen's home match against St Mirren on Saturday.
Cops charged the 17-year-old following an incident at Pittodrie Stadium in the Granite City during the cinch Premiership match on August 6. Several pyrotechnics were set off inside the stadium during the match, and in the area surrounding the ground prior to kick off.
Police say they are working to identify others wielding fireworks at the time - and to identify the perpetrators behind an attack on a supporters' bus before the game which allegedly saw the front window of the vehicle smashed. Possessing fireworks at a football ground, or even attempting to bring them in, is a criminal offence under the Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc) Act 1985.
