No hearing date has been set for those charged following riots in Auchinleck and Cumnock last year, a police report has revealed.

Back in November, we reported how a weekend of chaos resulted in at least eight people, including a 13-year-old boy, being arrested and charged in connection with the disorder.

An update on the current position has been provided to East Ayrshire councillors in a new document.

The report, covering the nine-month period from April 1 to December 31, 2023, states that common assaults on emergency workers has reduced this year, both against the previous year and the five-year average.

It was reported that at least one officer was injured after a brick was thrown at them during the incident in Auchinleck.

Providing an update on the Auchinleck and Cumnock incidents, the report stated: "Over the weekend of November 24-26, significant large scale disorder took place in the towns of Auchinleck and Cumnock.

"This originated in a 'take back our town' protest which gathered momentum via social media and culminated in widespread violence and disorder taking place over three nights.

"A number of adults and juveniles have been charged with a variety of offences, the most prominent being mobbing and rioting.

"A hearing date at court has still to be determined."

The report will go before members of East Ayrshire Council's police and fire and rescue committee on March 5.
