Police issue warning ahead of Euro 2020 Final

Humberside Police have issued a force-wide warning ahead of tonights Euro 2020 final between England and Italy.

The match is set to kick off on Sunday 11 July at 8pm.

Police say that since the start of the tournament there have been very few football related offences.

But, in a statement released earlier this week, they warned that they will not hesitate to take action if people fail to behave responsibly.

Chief Superintendent Darren Wildbore said: “I am pleased to report that we have seen very little disruption or football related offences throughout the games since the start of the tournament and that is a credit to the public who have acted responsibly.

“Our policing approach for this Sunday will be as it has been over the last month, with public safety being our utmost priority and we will continue to actively engage with football fans and members of the public to ensure everyone remains safe and within the Covid guidelines.

“As with previous England games, we will have additional resources to keep people safe and to ensure we can deal with anyone committing offences, but we really hope it will be a time of enjoyment and celebration.

“I will ask that people work with the police, that they respect the people around them and they understand that it’s important to celebrate sensibly and recognise that if the law is broken we will have to intervene so we are urging people to act and drink responsibly.”

Anyone with concerns should call the non-emergency number 101, or 999 in an emergency.
