A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Youths congregating in these types of areas is an annual occurrence during the summer months, and officers will be patrolling known gathering places over the weekend.
“We would like to ask parents and carers to be aware of where your children are during the evening, what they are doing, and who they are with.
“If you have any information that could assist our inquiries, please call 101 or speak to any police officer. Our reference is incident 1114 of 25th May.”

“Over the next few weeks officers will continue to undertake highly visible patrols in hot spot areas, engaging with the public and providing a reassuring presence to local residents and businesses.
