Arrests Over 'Racial Hatred' After Spurs Game

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred over Twitter comments made following a Tottenham Hotspur match.

Haringey CID launched an investigation after they were made aware of the tweets, which were of an anti-Semitic nature and made reference to Hitler and the gas chambers.

A 24-year-old man was arrested at his home address in Croydon on Thursday on suspicion of inciting racial hatred and was taken into custody at a south London police station

A 22-year-old man was arrested on the same day at his home address in Wiltshire.

Previously, as part of the same investigation, on 5 December a 48-year-old man was arrested in Canning Town.

All three men have now been bailed to a date in late January pending further enquiries.

In a separate investigation that also dealt with anti-Semitic tweets relating to the same match, police said a 55-year-old man from Hemel Hempstead was arrested and cautioned on in November for malicious communications.

Good!

Sends out a clear message to those that use social media sites that racial hatred will never be tolerated.

Agreed, some of the racial hatred on line is appalling and they should all be prosecuted.
