Police ScotlandFour teenagers have been arrested following Bonfire Night disorder in Edinburgh that saw fireworks and projectiles thrown at the public, police officers and buses.
Police confirmed that further arrests have been made as part of their criminal investigation into the “significant” disorder on November 5.
A 16-year-old male was charged on November 12, while two 17-year-old males were charged on November 13, in connection with the incidents on Calder Road.
All three will appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday, December 3.
A 15-year-old male was also arrested on Wednesday following incidents on Captain’s Road, where projectiles were thrown at public order officers. He will appear in court on an undertaking at a later date.
To date, 13 people have been charged, five homes have been searched, and two vehicles seized following the offences that took place between Halloween and Bonfire Night.
Police have warned that more arrests are to come as their investigations continue.
Chief Superintendent David Robertson, divisional commander for Edinburgh, said: “We want the arrests made so far to provide reassurance to our communities that we are committed to bringing all those responsible for the crimes that took place to justice.
“Equally, they should serve as a very real reminder to everyone who was involved that we are actively pursuing them, and they can expect a visit from us imminently.
“We still have lots of excellent CCTV footage and other evidence gathered on Halloween and Bonfire Night to go through and we are confident this will help us identify and charge more offenders in due course.
“Members of the public who have video or photographic evidence can still submit it to https://mipp.police.uk/operation/SCOT24S16-PO1.”
