City zoo attack charges dropped
Three teenagers who were accused of attacking dozens of animals at a Dundee wildlife centre have had the charges against them dropped.

The enclosure at Camperdown Wildlife Centre was broken into in July.

A pair of terrapins died in the incident, a deer suffered slash wounds to its hind legs and other animals were left traumatised.

Two of the three, who are aged 14 and under, have been referred to the Children's Panel.
