Police raid homes over football fans' station clash
GoogleTwelve men have been arrested for violent disorder after a clash following the recent football match between Middlesbrough and Millwall.
Cleveland Police said violence broke out at Middlesbrough railway station after the game on 3 April, involving several opposing supporters fighting, with two men arrested on suspicion of violent disorder.
Ten more men were arrested earlier in police raids on 11 properties across Teesside, in Ingleby Barwick, Thornaby, Middlesbrough and Stockton.
Ch Supt Martin Hopps said the arrests showed "robust action" and a commitment to ensuring members of the public were safe, before, during and after the matches.
As part of the raids, items of clothing were seized as evidence to assist the investigation, the force said.
Hopps said: "The message is clear, if you choose to partake in violence we will not stop until you have been identified, arrested and dealt with appropriately."
All of the men have been released on conditional bail while the investigation continues.
