A Dundee bus company has been forced to cancel services through the Whitfield area of the city after youths lobbed missiles at their vehicles.
The firm – Xplore Dundee – said that buses on the routes nine, 10 and 33 were being withdrawn due to anti-social behaviour in Lothian Crescent on Wednesday evening.
