Officers made four arrests yesterday (18 January) for public order offences after reported tragedy chanting at the football match involving Carlisle United and Bradford City.

The four people arrested were male, aged between 17 and 20, and were from Cumbria. 

The four males were subsequently bailed with investigations continuing.

Chief Superintendent Carl Patrick said: “We had an enhanced policing presence in place to ensure that people could enjoy their day safely.

“I would like to thank the vast majority of people attending the fixture for behaving in a responsible and safe manner.

“Our officers arrested four people after reported tragedy chanting. There is no place for such behaviour, and we will not tolerate this happening in Cumbria.”
