Six local youths – aged between 11-13 – have been charged with setting off fire alarms “maliciously” at high rise flats in Aberdeen.
The incident allegedly happened in the Cornhill and Stockethill area.
PC Richard Arton said: “We are grateful to the members of the public as well as the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Aberdeen City Council for their support while we carried out our inquiries.”
The six youths will be reported to the Youth Justice Management Unit.
