The incident occured on Friday (February 12) around 11.30m in the town’s Mid Barrwood Road.

Here, officers found a small gathering of people who were breaching Covid-19 restrictions.

However, the matter did not end there when two males aged 22 and 28 became threatening and abusive to officers.

They were then arrested but violently resisted arrest – prompting a call for back-up. Both were held in custody to appear at Airdrie Sheriff Court for a variety of disorder offences and for breaching lockdown regulations.

Thankfully police only received minor injuries in this incident.
