Fife derby trouble involving 13-16 year olds sparks major police investigation
Officers were assaulted, objects were thrown at players and pyrotechnics were set off during Dunfermline vs Raith Rovers earlier this month
Police in Fife have said they are still looking for more people who caused trouble at the football match between Dunfermline and Raith Rovers earlier this month.
Officers were assaulted, objects were thrown at players and pyrotechnics were set off during the game at East End Park on 1 February.
On the day, three boys, aged just 13, and another 16-year old boy were arrested and charged.
Reports have been submitted to the relevant authorities.
Following extensive enquiries, we are now appealing for anyone who was at the match and has information to come forward.
Chief Inspector Christopher Dow said: “We’re carrying out extensive CCTV work in relation to these offences and continue to liaise with the club to identify those involved.
“Football matches should be a safe environment for players and spectators and this type of reckless conduct will not be tolerated.
“I’d ask anyone who was at the game, or has any information, to get in touch. If you have pictures or mobile phone footage from inside the stadium, please review it and bring anything of significance to our attention.
“I would also like to thank the majority of fans for their conduct at matches and assure them we work closely with a range of partners to maintain public safety and minimise disruption.”
