Further Charges Over POSH v CUFC Disorder

Police have now charged a total of 10 people in connection with disorder between fans at a football match between Peterborough United and Cambridge United last year.

To date, 43 people have been identified and interviewed as part of the investigation following the game at the Weston Homes Stadium in London Road, Peterborough, on 29 October.

All except one person have been charged with either a section 4 or section 5 public order offence – namely using threatening words or behaviour with intent to cause fear of violence.

A 17-year-old boy from South Cambridgeshire, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with criminal damage at the Weston Homes Stadium worth up to about £20,000. He is due to appear in court next week (Wednesday, 22 February).

Detective Sergeant Shish Thind, who is leading the investigation, said: “This has been a lengthy and complex investigation which has involved identifying numerous people, countless interviews and we are now at the stage where we have been able to take next steps in terms of charges, however the investigation is not over yet.

“With the support of both clubs, our investigation is progressing and we will take action against anyone identified as committing criminal offences, and will work with clubs to secure banning orders where appropriate.

“The majority of Cambridge United and Peterborough United supporters behaved responsibly at the match, however, there were a small number of fans who chose to behave in a wholly unacceptable way, and this behaviour has been condemned by both clubs.”

Three people remain unidentified (pictured above), therefore anyone with information about the men in the CCTV images is urged to contact police online or use the web chat service and quote Operation Rookery.
