A man has been charged with breach of the peace
POLICE have denied local reports that a firearm was involved in an incident which allegedly saw a group of teenage boys threatened at a football pitch in Tranent on Monday evening.
A 47-year-old man has been charged in connection with the alleged breach of the peace at Foresters Park, amid claims that two male youths had been threatened by a man with a firearm.
But a Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We would like to reassure people that no firearm was involved in this incident.
"A 47-year-old man has been charged in connection with a breach of the peace and is subject of a report to the Procurator Fiscal."
