Residents of Eversley Street were told to remain in their homes while the investigation into the disturbance was carried out and told that access to footpath and roadways would be restricted in the meantime.

One local business owner told the Daily Record: "My friend's daughter has been locked inside her room for hours because she stays on that street.
