Yarmouth Police under siege

Mob lays siege to police station

Police monitor a rave after their building is attacked
A police station in Norfolk came under siege in the early hours of the morning when a group of about 100 people hurled beer and wine bottles at the building.

The attack in Great Yarmouth, happened after police arrested three people in a van carrying sound equipment.

Police later attended an "unlicensed music event" at an industrial estate.
Ch Supt Bob Scully said the arrested people were not involved in the police station attack, but they were linking the two incidents.

The attack was declared a major incident by Norfolk Police and Ch Supt Scully said: "We acted swiftly to control the situation and restore order."

Police are now monitoring the "rave" event at a warehouse on the Harfrey industrial estate on the outskirts of the resort

What is is with people attacking the police, they are there to help and keep this country in order what happens if one of those throwing bottles last night gets burgled or attacked, i bet they would soon want the police to help though......
