UK police warn World Cup revellers after 'shocking behaviour' at weekend

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s police chiefs warned the British public on Monday not to repeat the “shocking behaviour” which followed England’s victory over Sweden on Saturday at the soccer World Cup in Russia.

A statement from the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) said its 44 forces across England and Wales recorded 387 incidents and 70 arrests over the weekend for mostly alcohol-related disorder after England won their quarter final match.

In advance of England’s semi-final against Croatia on Wednesday, NPCC Lead for Football Policing Deputy Chief Constable Mark Roberts warned supporters: “We want people to celebrate and enjoy themselves but not at the expense of law abiding fans and emergency services’ resources.”
