POLICE are trying to trace a group of teenagers who were smashing bottles in a Peebles park yesterday (Sunday) afternoon.
Dozens of families were enjoying the sunshine when the incident happened at Tweed Green.
Police Scotland received numerous complaints about four youths smashing bottles against a pavilion.
They were also seen to smash bottles on a nearby road.

"We are pursuing positive lines of inquiry however we would welcome any further information from the public."
The incident happened at around 5.50pm.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 or the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
