Something as simple as looking for chocolate eggs with friends has turned into chaos, with police involved.
On Saturday, 4th April, a group of teenagers were involved in a series of chaotic incidents with the Milton Keynes police department. This followed an innocent game of easter egg hunting, in celebration of the UK’s easter bank holiday weekend. Instead, the activity led to a series of incidents with police officers charging at a group of young boys.
It’s reported that the kids gathered in Campbell Park, Milton Keynes. After engaging in a major Easter egg hunt around the area. The activity accumulated more attendees than anticipated. Resulting in chaos in the town centre at around 4.15pm.
Why did the police get involved?
It was later reported that in the evening, some teenagers blocked police officers from getting closer. This caused a mob of officers to swarm the area in a bid to shut down the carnage. As a result, an official dispersal order was put in place. Under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, the law states that the people involved are required to vacate the area for up to 48 hours.
Footage of the incident has been shared on X, and some videos clearly show police officers pushing and pinning down teenage boys.
