POLICE have released a statement following speculation about riots around the country.


Superintendant Mark Evans said: “Northamptonshire Police received reports of four small fires, three on Eastern District involving vehicles and one on the Harlestone Road involving traffic cones.

“At this stage there is nothing to indicate that these isolated incidents are directly connected to the national ‘riots’. These were small contained fires that were dealt with immediately.

“No one was injured.

“We can confirm that there have been no riots in Northamptonshire and the county remains stable. There are no further confirmed incidents at any other location.

“While events are ongoing nationally, we are not expecting any disorder within the county. Our officers are however keeping a close eye on things to prevent and respond to any potential disorder that may occur.

“As a force together with the community, we will not tolerate any criminal activity in any form and will take robust action against anyone who behaves lawlessly.

“We are aware that there are a number of Facebook pages setup and local speculation and rumour across the county in regards to this issue. We are monitoring all levels of information; however there are no confirmed reports of any criminal activity taking place. Officers will be conducting high visibility patrols and we would urge local people and businesses to remain vigilant and take precautions that they ordinarily would take – at this stage there is no cause for alarm.

“Yesterday, the Metropolitan Police service requested mutual aid in order to put in place extra resources on duty across the capital. In response to this, Northamptonshire Police sent a number of officers to support the Met.

“In addition, a number of officers, was sent across to support Bedfordshire Police. Officers left the force at 1.00pm and returned at 2.30pm, as there was no further requirement for our resources.”

Witnesses to this incident, or anyone with information, should call Northamptonshire Police on 03000 111 222 - alternatively, information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.


I think there are a lot of rumours circulating which are intended to whip up concern and get people out onto the streets. We're best off ignoring them.
