Police patrols are being stepped up in parts of Falkirk this weekend in a bid to tackle anti-social behaviour.
Officers say it's in response to complaints from residents about yobs running riots in Larbert and Stenhousemuir.
A number of officers and riots vans have tonight been deployed to those areas.
It's hoped the response will deter thugs from causing trouble.
Cops will be working with local businesses and Falkirk Council.
Posting on Twitter, a Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Larbert Community Officers, supported by Special Constables and Operational Support Officers, are out tonight and over the weekend working in partnership with local businesses and Falkirk Council in addressing youth disorder in the Larbert and Stenhousemuir areas."
