Three youths have been arrested and charged with disorder related offences after incidents in the Falkirk area over the weekend.
Last Friday, cops deployed riot vans to Larbert and Stenhouemuir in a bid to reduce the number of anti-social behaviour incidents.
It was in response a number of complaints from locals about thugs running riot.
The tougher action was brought in after officers teamed up with some local businesses and Falkirk Council.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Over the course of the weekend officers and partners from a number of support services carried out proactive patrols to address youth disorder in the area.
"As a result of which 3 youths were arrested and charged for disorder related offences."
