Plain-clothed police officers will be drafted onto First Bus services in Glasgow after a rise in anti-social behaviour.
The move comes after a series of wilful fire-raising incidents on buses in Pollok, with one bus left 'significantly damaged' after a group of youths started a blaze on the top deck before getting off. It wrote: "Regrettably First Glasgow has sustained an increasing number of arson attacks on buses putting staff and passengers at risk in the Pollok area of the city.
Police Scotland Greater Glasgow added: "Pollok Community Officers, @FirstinGlasgow and @mcgillswest have launched an initiative aimed to reassure the community and detect those responsible for anti-social behaviour on the bus network in the Silverburn area. Officers will be on the buses in uniform and plain clothes."
