Police have warned residents to be vigilant and report concerns after the attacks in recent days.

Officers say the behaviour has been sparked by people drinking outside shops in the town centre.

Sergeant Rich Cruickshank, from Netherton neighbourhood police team, said: "Adults are attending the village centre and drinking alcohol in public, bringing associated disorder to the community."

"Youths are congregating around the centre, Northfield Road and the flats in groups causing a nuisance to the community, minor damage, graffiti and throwing stones."
