Teenager arrested for possession of 'smoke grenade' at Bristol City match

The 16-year-old remains under police investigation

A teenager has been arrested for having a "smoke grenade" at Saturday's Bristol City FC match at Ashton Gate.

Around 21,000 fans descended onto the stadium this weekend to see the Robins face off against Queens Park Rangers.

However, the match was cut short for one fan who was arrested by police officers on suspicion of possession of a firework/flare.

Police have confirmed the 16-year-old has since been released under investigation.

Bristol City has had to previously remind fans that smoke bombs and flares are strictly prohibited items under the Football Ground Regulations after a number of similar incidents.

In 2017, a spokesperson for the club said: "Bristol City Football Club takes this matter seriously.

"Anyone caught using a flare or smoke bomb – lighting it, holding it or throwing it – will be passed over to the authorities and will ASPolice BCFC said on Twitter on this morning (August 19): "Nice to see new and old faces at the game on Saturday. Great atmosphere from both @BristolCity and @QPR fans.

"I dont really want to dwell on negatives from any football match but there was a smoke grenade and one male arrested.

"The other 21,000 plus fans behaved impeccably!!"

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Constabulary confirmed the teenager remains under police investigation.

"We arrested a boy aged 16 on Saturday during the Bristol City v Queens Park Rangers match at Ashton Gate," he said.

"He was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firework/flare at a sporting event.

"He has been released under investigation."

England : Football hooliganism numbers up as police fear return to 1980s violence - 20/08/2019

Source : https://news.yahoo.com/

Police have expressed concerns about the return of football hooliganism after a reported rise in violent incidents.

Figures reported in The Times have shown a rise in disorder at football matches across England with law enforcement worried about a return to the kind of violence seen in previous decades.

“Having successfully clamped down on hooliganism since the Eighties we are once again starting to see it creep back into the game,” said deputy chief constable of South Yorkshire and the police national lead for football policing Mark Roberts.

“While we are not quite at that level of violence yet, the use of weapons and the pre-planning of fights are coming back.”

The number of matches with incidents ranging from throwing coins to fighting rose from 727 in the 2012-13 season to 1,128 in 2017-18.

In the last year alone, Assault was up 24%, hate crime rose by 67% and the use of flares and fireworks by 21%.

The Times also reports more arrests are taking place involving clubs outside the Premier League.

Championship side Birmingham City had the highest number of recorded arrests in the 2017-18 season with 95, more than twice that of the highest Premier League team, West Ham with 46. Further down the pyramid In League Two, Coventry City had the most arrests with 37, followed by Grimsby Town on 35.

With a number of teams based in London resulting in large scale policing operations in place each weekend, The Met Police told Yahoo Sport they are committed to minimising trouble by working closely with the clubs.

“The Metropolitan Police Service has a dedicated football unit which works closely with all clubs across London to ensure spectators, players and staff can attend safe and enjoyable events.

“The Met ensures a proportionate policing plan and response is in place for each match.

“We are working with the London clubs, Football Association, Premier League and English Football League to assist them in challenging the behaviour of this minority of their fans, for the club to take action, and where appropriate for police involvement.”

An increase incidents could be linked to budget cuts in policing over the last decade.

According to the National Audit Office, Home Office spending on police has been cut by 19%, leading to a loss of 45,000 officers and staff, since 2010.
