Appeal after fireworks thrown in Dumbarton Road, Dalmuir

Officers are appealing for information after reports of youths throwing fireworks in the Dalmuir area of Clydebank on Wednesday, 5 November, 2025.

Between 7pm and 11pm, officers attended reports of youths throwing fireworks towards traffic and local shops in the Dumbarton Road area of Dalmuir.

One man was injured as a result and was treated for minor injuries.

Detective Inspector Pamela Grant said: "Luckily no-one was seriously injured by this dangerous and reckless behaviour, however the consequences could have been much more serious.

"A car with a woman and two children inside had its window smashed after a firework was thrown at it. At around 10.40pm a man was struck by a firework by the youths responsible.

"Extensive enquiries are ongoing to trace those involved and I urge anyone who witnessed these incidents, or anyone with information on those responsible to contact us.

"If anyone has any personal or dash-cam footage, please contact us if it holds anything which could be relevant."

''I would like to reassure the public that we treat this type of criminality and disorder very seriously and officers are working to identify those responsible as soon as possible. There will be increased patrols in the area to provide public reassurance and anyone with concerns should speak to officers.

Information can be passed to Police Scotland through 101 quoting incident number 3571 of 5 November, 2025. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained."
