Police have arrested ten people in connection with football related violence this morning in a series of raids across Aberdeen and Dundee.
More than 50 officers were involved in the operation in the cities after trouble flared on the day of the Dons’ 2-0 win over Dundee United at Tannadice last month.
Seven people in Aberdeen and three in Dundee were detained with raids including addresses in Cove and Mastrick.
Officers from Aberdeen City Division worked alongside colleagues in Tayside Division to carry out today’s enforcement activity as well as with both football clubs.
Chief Inspector Murray Main said: “Football related violence has reduced over the years thanks to in part to the excellent partnerships between Police and football clubs.
“However there remains a small element intent on causing antisocial behaviour.
“The actions of these individuals will not be tolerated and there is no place for disorderly behaviour in our towns and cities.
“We will continue to work with partners, including colleagues in other areas of Police Scotland, to keep people safe.”
