Carnoustie: Everybody was ‘flung poo fighting’.

Carnoustie: Residents tell of another disgusting incident which led to police being called

Youngsters hurled bags of dog waste at each other in a fight in a quiet Carnoustie street.

Bags from a dog poo bin ended up bursting on roofs and cars in the middle of the night.

It has emerged that the fight occurred between a group of young teenagers near the gates to Carnoustie House Grounds at around 2.30am last month.

Last weekend, bags of poo were thrown over children’s play equipment within the park.

But residents in the town have now spoken out about the earlier incident.

Recalling the “poo fight”, one man said: “Bad as this is, toddlers’ play equipment being smeared is just the tip of a very brown iceberg.

“Only a couple of weeks ago, there was a poo fight in Yeaman Street, just at the gate to the park where there’s a poo bin.

“Four or five 13 or 14-year-olds were throwing bags of poo at each other in the street.

“They were bursting poo bags in the street, over cars and on to our rooftops.”

The incident was reported to police who were unable to trace any of the youngsters involved.

Another resident added: “About three weeks ago residents in Yeaman Street had to clean dog excrement from their cars and roofs.

“The group even posed for a selfie at the entrance to the park.”

It was claimed that poo bags were again strewn around the park on Tuesday last week with the red waste bin’s lid wide open.

In the wake of the incidents, Angus Council has issued a reminder to its staff to make sure the bins are locked after they are emptied.

Referring to the incident where the bags were thrown at play equipment, a council spokesman said: “On receiving this complaint, our officers attended and found that all of the dog bins and dual purpose bins were locked.

“We have also issued a wider reminder to staff of the importance of locking bins once they have been emptied.

“This was deliberate vandalism by people who it seems were intent on behaving in an anti-social way.

“Their actions were not only revolting and inconsiderate, they had the potential to cause serious harm, in particular, to the health and wellbeing of young children using the park.”

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: “We received a report of anti-social behaviour involving a group of youths at 2.30am on September 3 in Yeaman Street.

“There was no trace of youths on police arrival and the complainer was updated to that effect.

“Anyone who has any concerns regarding anti-social behaviour should contact Tayside Division on 101 or 999 in an emergency.”
