Residents were told officers were working around the clock to review “hours and hours” of video footage.

A man and a minor were arrested that night and three other suspects have already been identified.

Police believe most of the culprits were adults, mostly from the area, and many of the fireworks were bought online and hidden in cars and flats.

Ameen Mohammed, chairman of Pollokshields Community Council, said a crackdown had been taken on cash shops where youths used to buy industrial-grade fireworks.

“I think in recent years, with social media, especially Instagram, people can get an UberEats-type delivery of fireworks to their home; that’s a difficult thing to deal with,” he said.

Three local councilors attended the meeting – Zen Gani, Norman MacLeod and Jon Molyneux – but the council was unable to provide an official to speak at the meeting at short notice.

Cllr Molyneux, who is campaigning for a citywide ban on fireworks to avoid stigmatizing some areas, said he hoped an FCZ next year would “make clear what a crime is and help people report riots.” .

He added: “Hopefully the police response will be a little more focused rather than spread out… if there are more isolated bits of disorder.”

Dr Ahmed said he would support a private bill from Luton North MP Sarah Owen, which called for restrictions on the sale of fireworks, external.

In a social media post, Dr Ahmed thanked the police for their “constructive updates” on the “crime and chaos at Bonfire Night, external“.

“We will work to ensure that this level of vandalism never returns to our streets,” he added.
