Youths charged following assault and antisocial behaviour in Dundee

Three youths, aged between 14 and 15, have been charged and will be reported to Youth Justice Authorities in connection with an assault at Caird Park and antisocial behaviour within Dundee city centre, which took place on Saturday, 17 June, 2023.

Officers are continuing to follow positive lines of enquiry to trace a number of other individuals involved in the incidents.

Chief Inspector Ross Fitzgerald, Area Commander for Dundee, said: “We know that the vast majority of young people will not come to the attention of the police, however a small minority do become involved in antisocial behaviour and their actions can have a negative impact on the lives of local residents.

“As we approach the schools breaking for summer, it is important that parents are aware of where their children are and what they intend to do whilst out in the community.

“Police Scotland is committed to encouraging people away from these kinds of behaviours, but will take appropriate actions where incidents are reported and offenders are identified.

“Anyone who has concerns about antisocial behaviour in their area is encouraged to contact Police by calling 101 as promptly as possible.”
