A Hyundai dealership on Calder Road in Edinburgh suffered significant damage during Bonfire Night celebrations. A group of youths reportedly caused chaos in the area, smashing windows and vandalising vehicles.
Video footage captured the aftermath of the incident, showing damaged cars with shattered windows and open doors. Local residents reported witnessing disturbing scenes of violence, including fireworks being thrown at vehicles and a petrol station.
Lothian Buses temporarily suspended services on Calder Road due to the ongoing disorder. Eyewitnesses described chaotic scenes with cars driving erratically to escape the situation.
In another incident, a resident’s home was targeted with fireworks, causing significant damage to their property.
These acts of vandalism highlight the destructive potential of anti-social behaviour, particularly during events like Bonfire Night. The local community and authorities are working to address the issue and prevent similar incidents in the future.
