Police Scotland condemns disorder in Kirkton area of Dundee

Around 7.45pm on Tuesday, 31 October, 2023 officers were called to a disturbance involving around 50 people in the Beauly Avenue and Beauly Square areas of Dundee.

The incident was responded to quickly by specially trained officers and the group dispersed.

Chief Superintendent Phil Davison, local policing commander for Tayside Division, said: “There is no justification for this behaviour, and it will not be tolerated. Enquiries are ongoing to identify everyone involved.

“The safety of our communities is our main priority, and I would like to reassure the public in that we continue to work closely with our multiagency partners during this Halloween and Bonfire period.

"We have specially trained colleagues from public order units to support our local policing teams when there is a risk of harm, such as fireworks being used recklessly, illegal bonfires and items being thrown."
