TWO men have been charged in connection with domestic abuse after a day of action by police in East Lothian yesterday (Wednesday).

The 35-year-old is scheduled to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today (Thursday).

A further two men were detained and released following interview.
Detective Inspector Stuart Reid of the Domestic Abuse Investigation Unit said: “Police Scotland is committed to tackling domestic abuse and our enforcement activity yesterday shows that these offences will not be tolerated.
“Officers treat all reports of domestic abuse with the utmost professionalism and I would encourage victims to come forward to police so we can continue to bring those responsible to account.”
