Youths charged after police officers ‘targeted’ with fireworks

Youths charged after police officers ‘targeted’ with fireworks

Two male youths have been charged with reckless conduct after police officers were “targeted” with fireworks in a Glasgow suburb.

Officers said nobody was injured in the incident, which happened in the Barlia Terrace area of Castlemilk at about 8pm on Wednesday.

The youths are due to be reported to the Children’s Reporter.

Chief Inspector Paul Daley: “We want everyone in our communities to enjoy Bonfire Night safely but using fireworks to target police officers or anyone else is completely unacceptable.

“This kind of behaviour puts people in danger and takes resources away from where they’re needed most.

“Officers are here to keep the public safe, and we will take firm action against anyone who acts irresponsibly or endangers others.”
