Police have charged an additional three people in connection with organised fights across the north-east last weekend.
The centre of the Inverurie was taken over by gangs of youths on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday – with huge groups descending upon the railway station, Harlaw Road and the academy areas of the community.
Police have now charged a total of 18 people in connection with the incident and handed out a further six fixed penalty notices.
There were concerns of further planned fights last night so officers sent patrols across the market town but there were no outbreaks of violence.
Sergeant William Murdoch said: “Although reports were that there was to be an arranged disturbance, Friday night went without incident.
“Support from members of our public has been fantastic with a high number of calls alerting us to potential incidents.
“We’ve made it clear to those previously involved and those planning to take part that they will face court.
“Our support to the area won’t stop and our patrols will continue so that we are in a strong position to reduce the risk from anything further by taking action against those set on violence.
“We will be stopping cars, we will be checking trains and buses and we will be making it hard for these groups to descend on towns and villages here.
“We will continue to work with our partners to reduce the risk of any repeat.”
