14 arrests have now been made in connection with fireworks-related offences over the Halloween and Bonfire Night period
A male has been charged in connection with several serious offences including mobbing and rioting in Edinburgh on Bonfire Night.
This year’s national policing operation saw a near 37 per cent reduction in fireworks calls compared with last year, but pockets of criminality still occurred in various parts of the country, including the Sighthill area in Edinburgh.
As a result of evidence gathered during the evening of 5 November and follow-up enquiries over the last week, a 17-year-old male was arrested on Wednesday, 12 November.
He appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday, 13 November.
To date, 14 arrests have been made in connection with fireworks-related offences over the Halloween and Bonfire Night period by the dedicated investigation team within Edinburgh.
