Three teenage boys have been charged with wilful fire-raising in Lincluden.

This follows an incident last week where two 15-year-olds and a 16-year-old set a bridge alight in Popeyes Park, causing extensive damage.

Dumfries Community Officers have been carrying out enquiries.

A report will be sent to the Youth Justice Coordinator.
