Police confirmed they are working to tackle drugs and youth disorder in one Glasgow area.

At the Canal Ward Area Partnership meeting, attendees heard an update on the issue, which is a "key priority" for officers.

Chief Inspector Julie Daveport said : “As part of the Canal Area Partnership in Glasgow, we continue tackling anti-social behaviour and disorder in the area.

“Tackling anti-social behaviour and disorder is a key priority for officers, as we are aware of the adverse impact that this type of behaviour has on our local communities.

“The local policing team have been monitoring the area and carrying out high-visibility patrols.

“We are committed to supporting the local community and are actively involved in several projects in the Glasgow North area with our partners to assist with intervention and encourage people away from this kind of behaviour."

At the meeting, Inspector Colin MacLucas also encouraged citizens to report incidents to Police Scotland and reassured locals that they continue to monitor drivers with road stops and parking tickets.

The force has also recently launched its campaign Shut out Scammers, which aims to educate and raise awareness of doorstep crime.
