A YOUNGSTER was charged by police due to his alleged behaviour outside a Haddington supermarket.

The incident, which took place a week before Christmas, was highlighted in a report to the town’s community council last Tuesday.

In a written report, Constable Natalie Dalziel said the male youth was charged with threatening and abusive behaviour within the grounds to the rear of Tesco.

He was taken home by police and a report has been sent to the youth offending officer.
