A THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD girl was charged over the weekend as part of a police crackdown in Dunbar.

Officers were out on high-visibility patrols to deter youth-related anti-social behaviour after a rise in incidents in the town.

Over the two days, police spoke with a number of young people, as well as other members of the public, resulting in alcohol being seized from anyone under 18.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said: β€œIn addition, a 13-year-old girl was charged in connection with drinking in public and theft of alcohol.”
