A TEENAGER was arrested after a disturbance in a Gourock street on Friday night.

Back-up officers assisted local police following complaints about large groups of young people gathering across the area.

Just after 8pm, officers arrested a 15-year-old after he was found to be in possession of a brick and engaging in anti-social behaviour in Binnie Street.

Area commander Chief Inspector Paul Cameron said safeguarding teenagers in Inverclyde is his 'absolute priority'.

He added: "Police are not wishing to criminalise our young people however this kind of behaviour is unacceptable and we will take robust action against those involved."
