Fifteen people have been arrested in a crackdown on gangs loitering near railway lines in north Glasgow.
Strathclyde Police and British Transport Police joined forces to target disorder and vandalism.
During a four-day operation, 10 people were caught drinking in the street, three arrested for breach of the peace and two for possession of drugs.
The suspects were all aged between 14 and 22 and reports are being prepared for the procurator fiscal.
Trouble hot spots
Chief Inspector Iain Miller, of British Transport Police, said: "The intention of this joint operation was to deploy both uniform and plain clothes officers to minimise the possibility of violence, disorder and damage to property.
"This was certainly achieved."
Superintendent Graham Cairns, of Strathclyde Police, added: "I would reinforce that we are still in the amnesty phase of a year-long campaign to tackle the culture of violence in our communities.
"We will move shortly to the enforcement phase."
Officers stopped and searched 27 people for weapons with hand-held metal detectors during the operation which ended on Saturday.
