Boy charged over laser pen incident

A 14-year-old boy has been charged after shining a laser pen at buses in Dundee.

Police described the actions as “extremely reckless”. A report will be sent to the Youth Justice Assessor following the incident on Friday.

Inspector Peter Mclennan said: “I would urge people in possession of these type of devices not to misuse them and remind the public it is a criminal offence.”

Elsie Turbyne, of bus operator Xplore Dundee, described shining a laser pen into anyone’s eyes as “incredibly dangerous”.
