Four people have been arrested during Orange Order processions in Glasgow.

Police say the arrests were made on Saturday, July 1 as thousands marched through the city streets. The offences were primarily for breach of the peace and acts of anti-social behaviour.

Officers also issued two fixed penalty notices during the event. The event, organised by the Orange Lodge, is estimated to have involved around 4,000 people.

Chief Superintendent Stevie Dolan said: "Officers in Glasgow made a total four arrests and issued two fixed penalty notices during the Orange Order processions on Saturday, July 1, 2023.

"The offences were primarily for breach of the peace and acts of anti-social behaviour."

CS Dolan added: ”We worked with a range of partners to ensure a proportionate policing plan was in place to ensure public safety and reduce the disruption to the wider community.

"I would like to thank the vast majority of the participants who engaged positively and behaved responsibly throughout.”
