A 20-year-old man has been charged with culpable and reckless conduct after holding a Hogmanay party in Renfrew.

Police were called to disperse a group of people from a flat in Houston Court after complaints they were breaching Covid-19 restrictions.

On December 30, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon reminded that all house parties were banned under coronavirus restrictions.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: “Around 9.05pm on Thursday, 31 December, officers were called to a report of people gathering in a flat in Houston Court, Renfrew.

“Officers attended, advice was given and the group was dispersed.

“A 20 year-old man was charged with culpable and reckless conduct and a report was forwarded to the Procurator Fiscal.”
