Five teenagers arrested after mass street brawl

Five teenagers have been arrested after a mass street brawl in Surrey.

Police were called to reports of a large fight involving a group of youths in Croydon Road, Caterham, shortly before 19:20 GMT on Thursday.

A 14-year-old and four boys, aged between 15 and 17, were arrested on suspicion of affray and remain in custody.

A dispersal order has been authorised across Caterham Valley from 17:00 on Friday to 17:00 on Sunday, Surrey Police said.

Dispersal orders give officers the power to order a group of two or more people to leave an area if they are committing, or are likely to commit, a criminal offence.

Additional officers may also be seen patrolling the area while the order is in place, police said.

Anyone who witnessed the fight is urged to contact the force.
