Black smoke billowed from the house as crews sprayed water from a specialist appliance BLAZE TERROR Homes evacuated and locals told to keep windows SHUT after fire breaks out in Scots town Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HORROR blaze has taken hold of a home as terrified neighbours were forced to evacuate. Emergency services raced to a property in Forres, Moray today after the alarm was raised just after 2pm. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Firefighters told residents to close their windows as they battled the wild flames. The order was issued due to concerns over smoke from solar panel batteries at the property. An onlooker said: "You don't expect this to happen on your doorstep, there were firefighters everywhere. "It must've been terrifying for the owners - I hope nobody was hurt." Black smoke billowed from the house as crews sprayed water from a high-reach appliance. Yellow tape was used to cordon off the area as shock pictures show the roof had caved in. There were no reported injuries from the horror house fire. A Scottish Fire and Rescue spokesperson said: "Several properties have been evacuated in the Drumduan Road area of Forres following a fire reported to police around 1.50pm on Thursday, 7 August. "The road is not closed but people are advised to avoid the area while the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service deal with the fire near the junction with Drumduan Gardens. "Nearby residents are advised to keep windows and doors shut due to smoke from solar panel batteries at the property."

Emergency services raced to Princes Street at around 5.45pm and locked down the area, causing transport services across the city to be suspended. The alarm was raised after officers received reports that a group of youths had begun throwing items from a roof. Photos from the scene show police and fire crews at the scene, blocking festival-goers from accessing several streets in the city centre.

There was a large-scale police response and three male teenagers, aged 14, 15, 17, a 16-year-old girl and a man, aged 23, have been charged. Previously, three men, aged 22, 38 and 47, and two females, aged 15 and 36, were charged over alleged disorder. Some of the protesters are accused of throwing eggs and stones at cops. Cops surrounded a property and Graham was hurried into a police van while being escorted by officers holding riot shields. The latest charges will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal and officers are aware of another planned gathering on August 8. Police have encouraged people not to engage in any anti-social behaviour. Graham was found guilty last month of having sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl. The offences took place in the former Scottish Labour councillor's home, office and car over more than six months. In August 2023, we revealed that he had been arrested and suspended by the party.

"We understand there are strong feelings in the local area but that is no excuse for violence or disorder. We are particularly concerned with the number of children who have been present. 'Our enquiries into these gatherings are ongoing as we work to identify further individuals involved in this incident. 'Anyone taking part on disorder or inciting or encouraging others to be involved should expect to be identified and charged accordingly.'

Thug who knocked out OAP & called him an ‘Orange b*****d' at Scots lodge dodges jail
Horrified witnesses saw blood pouring from the victim's head LODGE BUST-UP Thug who knocked out OAP & called him an 'Orange b*****d' at Scots lodge dodges jail Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A THUG who knocked out a pensioner and branded him an 'orange b*****d' after a football awards night has been ordered to pay £750 compensation. James Clarke, 47, had been at the prize-giving evening at an Orange Hall in Bellshill, Lanarkshire, that was also attended by Hugh McLean. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A thug appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court after a sectarian bust-up Credit: Les Gallagher But after the event, Clarke punched Mr McLean, 76, which caused him to fall and hit his head on the ground. Horrified witnesses ran to help and saw Mr McLean had blood pouring from his head in December last year. When challenged over the attack, callous Clarke labelled them 'orange bs'. Police were called and he was arrested after doorbell footage of the incident was shown to officers. Clarke, of Bellshill, appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court and admitted assault. The charge stated the offence was aggravated by 'prejudice relating to religion or perceived religious affiliation'. Sheriff John Hamilton KC ordered him to complete 200 hours of unpaid work and placed him under supervision for a year in addition to the compensation. Depute fiscal Rosemary O'Neill told the court witnesses had intervened on the night. She said: "The accused approached Mr McLean and punched him on the head causing him to fall and strike his head on the path. "They exited their vehicle and approached both the complainer and the accused, noting that Mr McLean was unconscious and bleeding from his head. Three charged with murder after boy, 19, stabbed to death in Powerleague football car park "They immediately recognised the accused from the same engagement they had been at earlier that evening and challenged him where he proceeded to call them 'orange bs'. "Police were called and another witness approached to provide CCTV from his doorbell and were able to identify the accused." Jackson Bateman, defending, said: "It's not lost on him that this is a serious matter, but there are alternatives open to the court. "He tells me that compensation is something he would be keen to do and would fully comply with that." 2 James Clarke dodged jail after calling an OAP an 'Orange b*****d' Sheriff Hamilton said: "In the circumstances, I will impose a community payback order. "But if you fail to comply, it will be brought back before the court and, given the nature of the offence, the likelihood is you will go to jail."
