"On bonfire night the force responded to 507 anti-social behaviour calls, 203 involving fireworks. Eleven arrests were made for various offences including violent disorder."
"One officer tries to get shields out of the back of a riot van but finds himself briefly pinned by yobs hurling fireworks, showcasing the chaotic situation on the ground."
"Several witnesses described the area as a 'war zone', stating, 'They barricaded the street off... hurling fireworks and wood and bricks at cars.'"
"Superintendent John Paul Ruffle noted, 'Every year we understand bonfire night can come with increased incidents of ASB, and we are always prepared to deal with those proactively.'
