Groups of young people have been responsible for a surge in anti-social behaviour at the Ocean Terminal in Leith.
Police in Edinburgh say they will be conducting additional patrols in and around the complex following a sharp rise in youth disorder.
They say residents and business have had a "tough enough time recently" without having to put up with the actions of this reckless minority.
Officers are also pleading with parents to speak with their children if they believe they are involved in this activity, and urge them to be aware of its impact.
Community Inspector Colin Fordyce of Craigmillar Police Station said: “We’ve seen an increase in antisocial behaviour incidents at Ocean Terminal recently involving groups of youths.
"One of our priorities in Edinburgh is dealing with disorder and antisocial behaviour. We will be focusing our patrols in and around Ocean Terminal to tackle the issue with a zero tolerance approach. Enforcement action will be taken if anyone is identified as being involved in any criminal behaviour.
“Our local residents and businesses have had a tough enough time recently, and it’s not acceptable for them to have to put up with the reckless behaviour of a small minority of youths intent on causing trouble.
“I ask that all parents and carers speak with their children and young people about the impact that antisocial behaviour has on others.
"If you see any criminality in the area, call 101, or 999 in an emergency to help us hold offenders to account. Information can also be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
