Yobs aged 12 and 13 charged with 'smashing Edinburgh tram window with stone'

Two young boys have been charged by police after a tram window was allegedly smashed with a stone in Edinburgh.

The 12 and 13-year-old will be reported to the Youth Justice Assessor after being identified by officers.

Police were called after the tram was targeted at around 7.15pm on March 24 in Bankhead Drive.

The vehicle had to be removed from service after the shocking incident.

Chief Inspector Sarah Taylor said: “Throwing stones and other objects at public transport vehicles is extremely dangerous and we will not tolerate this mindless and destructive activity.

“Officers have been out speaking to youths in the community about the dangers and consequences of this behaviour as part of Operation Proust, and will continue these efforts over the coming weeks.

“Information from members of the public is vital in helping us quickly identify those involved in this type of criminality and we would encourage anyone who witnesses an incident to contact Police Scotland through 101.

“Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
