A man has been charged by police after threatening messages were allegedly left written on the inside of windows and doors at a family home.
The 24-year-old is also alleged to have turned on a gas cooker within the property and left it burning, and lit candles, in a series of “suspicious incidents” at a house in Carnoustie.
Police were called over the claims last month and a man has now been charged in connection with the alleged activity.
A spokeswoman for the force said at the time of the alleged incidents: “Police Scotland is making inquiries after suspicious incidents were reported on May 12 at an address on Taymouth Terrace, Carnoustie.”
Anyone with information was asked to contact officers.
However, the spokeswoman has now confirmed that a man has been held by officers.
She said: “Police Scotland can confirm that a 24-year-old man has been charged and a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.”
Locals spoke of seeing police in the area in recent weeks.
One woman said: “Officers were at my door last week asking if we had noticed anything unusual going on in the street or at an address.
“I did see a police car there one day and remember wondering what it was about.
“This has been a quiet street in the years I’ve lived here so it was out of the ordinary for the police to be at my door.”
Another resident said: “I did see a car there one day. Most people here keep themselves to themselves.
“I’ve never heard of anything like this.”
