A warning has been issued to cemetery visitors after children drank alcohol left on graves in Angus.

Angus Council has urged the public not to leave cans or bottles of alcohol on gravestones in cemeteries across the region.

It comes after multiple incidents where children have removed the bottles and drank the contents.

A spokesperson for the council said staff regularly remove the drinks and store them for collection, but no staff were on shift when the incidents occurred.

A statement added: “Please remember your loved ones and visit their graves by all means, but please do not leave alcoholic drinks where youngsters can get access to them.”
