Seven arrests so far

It has been reported by BBC Hereford & Worcester that seven men have been arrested in connection with violence at the recent Burton game.

Following raids early this morning arrests have been made in Hereford and Ross. Members of Burton CID are currently in Hereford and are understood to be helping with interviews of the suspects.

According to the Burton Mail a team of seven officers from Burton Police Station had travelled to Hereford yesterday to work alongside West Mercia Police Force in a joint operation to round-up the trouble makers.

At 6.30am today they raided eight addresses in Hereford, with some of the suspects also arrested at their places of work.

Burton Police have told the media: "We have identified ten individuals, and there is another youth which we have footage of but is yet to be identified. Of those people seven have been arrested. More arrests may follow.

"At the end of today or early tomorrow when we look at what we have got, if we have not identified anyone we shall ask for media help.

"Those arrested are being kept at Hereford or Ross Police Stations."

It is believed that they will be charged and possibly some will be taken to Burton to make a court appearance tomorrow.
