‘Out of control’ teens blamed after window frame launched from flat

Residents feared someone could have been killed after a window frame was launched from a seventh-floor flat in Dundee.

The incident happened at Tulloch Court shortly before midnight on Friday.

Police arrived at the scene a short time later.

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland described the action as “reckless” and confirmed inquiries into the incident are ongoing.

One resident, who did not want to be named, said that schoolchildren had taken over an abandoned flat before the unsavoury incident.

The resident said: “Another neighbour living opposite the multi captured it on video.

“It is hard to see what happened but you hear the frame hitting the ground below.

“It is horrendous what has happened.

“Someone could have been killed if they’d been walking by.”

The resident added: “The problem for the police is they were arriving as most of the kids were leaving.

“The poor folk living on the landing around the flat must have had a horrid time of it putting up with that.

“I live slightly further away from it but I certainly don’t feel safe here. I wish they’d put the concierge back at the multis again at nights.”

Another man, who has friends in the block, said the flat on the seventh floor had been “destroyed” in the incident.

He said: “I thought it had happened around 1am on Friday but it could have been earlier.

“The occupant has abandoned the flat though and schoolchildren between the ages of 16 and 18 have been able to get in.

“They’ve launched a doubleglazed window frame from the living room.

“That property is on the seventh floor and I’ve heard it’s been destroyed inside.

“On that video that’s been captured you can’t see the window frame but you certainly hear it hitting the floor. The kids involved are totally out of control.”
