Forums Forums Local News Masked youths hurl bricks at Ellesmere Port police

Eight teenagers were arrested after a stand-off between police and up to 100 youths in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire.

The group walked around the Yeoman Way area of Great Sutton hurling bricks, stones and eggs at police cars for about four hours on Sunday night.

Officers shepherded the group away from children who were trick or treating in the area, occasionally entering the crowd to make arrests.

The force believes they deliberately sought a confrontation with police.

Police received a number of calls about eggs and other items being thrown at vehicles by a group of youths, some wearing Halloween masks, at about 1800 GMT on Sunday.

As well as throwing bricks, members of the group shone laser pens into the faces of officers who left their vehicles to make arrests or break up the group.

In the ensuing four hours police arrested eight teenagers, who were all detained overnight, and recovered a knuckle duster.

"This was a nasty example of public disorder, which seemed to be organized to set up a confrontation with the police," said Sgt Andrew Paine, of Cheshire Police.

"We dealt with it very firmly and the people involved will face the consequences.

"Anyone who is thinking of indulging in similar activity during the next few days, particularly on bonfire night, should take a lesson from that."

String em all up...

....or shoot them all.

Words cannot describe my feelings towards these animals with such little respect.

In the spirit of Bonfire Night, the police should have used flamethrowers on that septic shower of ... !

I suppose there's an EEC directive about that though. The smoke might be hazardous ! Mmmmmm..... ?

Bloody ..., who do they think they are, throw them in a cell with some nasty heavies (preferably gay!)

Probably released the next day with an impending court date, where their mother's pay a paltry fine and then they reoffend again.

No wonder we pay so much tax keeping these reprobates at bay!

one blooper of tear gas would have sorted out the problem

Skunk spray them

they probably already smell of that

Your not allowed to keep your kids under control any longer - and the kids know it!
