Police in Scotland investigate 144 Halloween fireworks-related incidents after calls reported fireworks being thrown at people during Halloween night. Glasgow disorder is among the cases under anti-social behaviour investigation, police record multiple reports involving members of the public.
Outlets say the figure comes from Police Scotland call logs for October 31. The Herald Scotland and BBC News - UK also include reports that fireworks were directed at buildings and vehicles, not only people. BBC News - UK additionally provides a comparison with the previous year, while the other reports focus more on the nature of the allegations and ongoing investigations.
While all coverage centres on the same incident tally and the reported misuse of fireworks, the emphasis varies: some foreground public safety concerns and local disorder in Glasgow, while others broaden to a nationwide picture across Scotland and note year-on-year change.
