Another win (not!) for the clown constabulary in Lancashire as they arrest a child for throwing snowballs at them.
The Mail Online says that one of the officers was ALMOST hit in the face with the “icy projectile” and the force stated that they DO NOT consent (in parentheses) to snowball fights!
Officers on patrol spotted youths throwing the icy projectiles towards McDonalds in Chorley, Lancashire which came ‘very close to hitting officers and members of public in the face’.
A furious police sergeant posted on social media that officers ‘DO NOT consent to a snowball fight’ as it was revealed a child was arrested for alleged public order offences.
Following the incident last night, Lancashire Police put a dispersal order in place.
Sgt Harrison, from the Chorley & South Ribble Task Force, said yesterday: ‘This evening Officers from Chorley Neighbourhood and Task force are out and about tackling ASB and crime. Whilst going about our business Youths have begun throwing snow balls towards McDonalds which have been very close to hitting officers and members of public in the face. We DO NOT consent to a snowball fight and we will take positive action against any people who have been identified attempting to assault officers. Officers will be on duty all weekend and behaviour of this nature will NOT be tolerated.’
The dispersal order means anyone suspected of causing anti social behaviour will be directed to leave a specified area. Failing to comply with police directions comes with the risk of arrest.
The order was put in place from 3am this morning and will be reviewed with a possibility of it continuing through the weekend, police said.
Never mind snowballs – all there is to see here is a bunch of snowflakes!
