Kids in the Scottish borders are risking their lives by climbing onto school roofs during lockdown.
Cops in the area have warned against the new craze after getting 'several calls' from worried locals watching youngsters on the roofs.
With lockdown continuing, most Scots schools are lying completely empty.
In other parts of the country they have been set on fire or vandalised.
Scottish Borders police issued a stark warning and called on parents to tell kids about the dangers.
A statement issued reads: "Police in the Scottish Borders have received several calls in relation to young people climbing onto the roofs of school buildings.
"Fortunately at this time nobody has been injured.
"Roofs are often not designed to withstand the weight of people walking across them and are seldom provided with barriers at the edge to prevent falls.
"Some roofing materials and features such as skylights may be particularly fragile so pose one of the greatest risks of people falling through.
"We are asking that parents speak to their child and ensure they are aware of the dangers of climbing on buildings. The consequences of falling from a height are simply not worth the risk."
