Police and firefighters are reminding people to stay safe and avoid “reckless” behaviour with fireworks this bonfire night.
It comes after an Indian take-away in Kirkton had a firework thrown through its door on Thursday night.
An explosive was thrown through the door of the Kohe-Noor takeaway on Beauly Avenue.
Police are looking to speak to a man who was wearing a black and white Adidas tracksuit top in relation to the incident.
None of the shop’s staff were injured in the incident, but Police Scotland were keen to stress how the “reckless” behaviour could have had a much more tragic outcome.
Meanwhile, officers from the Scottish Fire and Rescue service are urging people to head to organised public bonfire night events on November 5.
Firefighters highlight the dangers associated with private displays and illegal bonfires make bonfire night one the busiest nights of the year for the service.
Station manager Craig Wallace, of Scottish Fire and Rescue, hoped people would attend one of Dundee City Council’s “spectacular” organised firework displays.
“The displays at Lochee park and Baxter park are two well organised official events.
“Lots of planning has been done to make sure they are well controlled and a substantial investment has gone in to them.
“People attending can expect a spectacular display.”
Assistant chief officer David McGown said: “The Scottish Fire and Rescue service can be up to four times busier than usual on bonfire night.
“There are many official bonfire events this year in Scotland and attending one of these can help ensure our resources aren’t delayed.
“Illegal bonfires needlessly take up our crews time and put others with genuine emergencies at risk.
“I would urge any member of the public who sees someone starting an illegal bonfire to contact Crimestoppers.
“Together we can help each other stay safe this bonfire night.”
Neighbourhood services depute convener Vari McDonald said: “Thousands of people continue to attend the council’s fireworks events at Baxter and Lochee parks because they are superb displays.
“I would encourage as many people as possible to come along this year.
“By attending one of these organised displays you are ensuring your safety this bonfire night and I would encourage everyone to come along.”
Tens of thousands of people attended council organised displays last year.
Both Lochee and Baxter park firework displays will begin at 7pm, with both bonfires being lit at 6.15pm.
The council would like to remind people not to bring sparklers, Chinese lanterns or their own fireworks to any of the public displays.
