Press Releases

Published: 15/12/2008


Police in Portsmouth investigating indecent chanting at a football match have made three further arrests.

A 20-year-old man from Essex, a 15-year-old boy from Purley in Surrey and a 15-year-old boy from North London, have been questioned on suspicion of indecent or racial chanting at a designated football match after attending a police station in Portsmouth.

All three have been bailed until January 21, 2009.

With the total arrests made now at five, officers believe they have also identified seven other men in the pictures, and these people will be attending a police station in Hampshire to be questioned by officers.

Officers have received a steady stream of information and names, however they are keen to stress that would like to hear from anyone who recognises the remaining four people.

The investigation follows abuse directed at Portsmouth Football Club player Sol Campbell during a game against Tottenham on Sunday, September 28, 2008.
