Police say they have established no criminality after six men were reported to be taking photographs of children in a Perth playpark.
Officers launched an investigation after the incident was reported to have happened at South Inch just before 6pm on Tuesday.
A number of parents raised concerns about the behaviour of the men and the matter was reported to police on Wednesday.
But Police Scotland has now confirmed it is not treating the matter as criminal.
‘Full investigation’ carried out
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “Officers in Perth are aware of reports circulating on social media about men taking pictures of children at various locations throughout Perth.
“The officers have traced the men involved and a full investigation was carried out into the circumstances of the incidents which has resulted in no criminality being established.”
Chief Inspector Tom Leonard, Area Commander for Perth and Kinross Local Policing Area, said: “We have looked into the circumstances surrounding these reports and although we understand the upset this has caused to many parents, we would like to assure everyone that there was no risk to the children or the wider community.”
