Police will use stop and search powers in certain areas of Edinburgh in a bid to intercept planned disorder on Bonfire Night.
The force warned those suspected of planning firework-related anti-social behaviour in the Gracemount, Moredun and Niddrie areas would be searched after receiving “intelligence” of potential trouble.
Bus operator Lothian withdrew services from Niddrie at about 17:00 as a “preventative measure”. The area was where a police officer was injured and buses were damaged by pyrotechnics on Halloween night.
Control zones banning the use of fireworks in certain areas of the city are in place until 10 November for the first time.
