A TEENAGER has been reported to the procurator fiscal and children’s reporter over a series of vandalisms that took place in April.

Police inspector Chris Sewell said a 17-year-old male had been reported to both in connection with the incident.

A number of cars were damaged in Lerwick in early April, with reports of vehicles on Clickimin Road, Goodlad Crescent, Russell Crescent King Haakon Street and Harbour Street being affected.

Police Scotland said it had received “multiple reports of vehicles being vandalised” at addresses in Lerwick on Sunday 6 April.
