Two Arrests After Scarborough Fire Engine Incident

Thursday, 30 March 2023 16:02

North Yorkshire Police say two men in their 20s have been arrested after a video was posted on social media showing a man riding on top of a moving fire engine in Scarborough.

The two men have been arrested on suspicion of outraging public decency and public order – they remain in police custody.

The video was filmed at around 7.30pm last night and as soon as the man was spotted by firefighters, the appliance was brought safely to a stop.

Three men then became verbally aggressive and abusive towards the firefighters before they left the scene.

Offiicer say :

"We have already spoken with several witnesses but if anyone else has information which may assist with our investigation, please contact us quoting reference 12230055973.

Information can also be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
