Police are investigating after a man caused a disturbance at a mental health facility in Dundee.

NHS Tayside confirmed an official report had been made to Police Scotland following an incident at the Alloway Centre on March 25.

The Alloway Centre, in Alloway Place, houses the Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) for the east of Dundee.

It is understood the perpetrator was buzzed into the centre for an appointment before causing the disturbance, with his behaviour upsetting staff who contacted the authorities.

Staff are said to have been supported by NHS Tayside after the incident and extra security measures put in place.

Police are understood to be using fingerprint and DNA evidence to trace who made the threats.
