Boy, 11, arrested on suspicion of Hartlepool police car arson
An 11-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of arson after a police car was set alight on a night of unrest on Teesside.
It follows the arrests of 11 other people, as police officers were attacked with missiles, glass bottles and eggs in Hartlepool’s Murray Street area on Wednesday.
Cleveland Police said it believed the disorder, which saw one of the force’s vehicles set on fire, was linked to protests over the fatal knife attack on children in Southport, Merseyside, on Monday.
Assistant Chief Constable David Felton said “disorder of this kind will not be tolerated” and that the force continued to work to identify those involved.
