Police vow to trace those responsible after mass youth disorder in Fife
Police have vowed to find those responsible after reports of mass youth disorder in a Fife village.
Officers separated groups of young people in Aberdour after being called to the scene at around 6pm on Tuesday.
Posts on social media suggested large groups were fighting each other, with police activity around nearby bus and train stations.
Police said the groups later dispersed and were conveyed away from the area via public transport hubs. There were no reports of any injuries.
Inspector Gordon Stanford said: “This type of behaviour will not be tolerated and those involved will be traced and, where criminality is identified, be held accountable.
“I appreciate this has caused distress to local residents and I want to reassure them, officers will remain in the area and anyone with concerns can approach them.
“I’d also ask anyone with information on those involved in this disorder to come forward and speak to police.
“If you have CCTV, doorbell or dash-cam footage which has captured anything of significance, please also bring it to our attention.”
Anyone with information has been asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 2644 of April 7.
