That video of a lit firework going off right by the crowd at the Mossbay bonfire on Thursday? Workington police are going through it.
If you were at a bonfire in Mossbay this week, or you've seen that video flying round online, here's the latest.
Police are going through footage from the community bonfire on Westfield Drive, Workington, on Thursday 5 November. In the video, a young lad holds a lit firework, then drops it on the ground, and it goes off right next to people, who scatter.
The bonfire itself, put on by the Mossbay community, went down well, but folk online said that moment really upset little ones who were watching.
Inspector John Bradley of Workington Neighbourhood Policing Team said: "We will review the footage circulating and if criminal offences are identified we will be in touch with those involved." He also said: "Officers were out on patrol as part of the planned Bonfire Night operation." Patrols were sent there at about 8pm.
It's not a great look for the town at the minute. Under Operation Enhance, the high-visibility patrols now in their third year, Workington town centre was the only area where anti-social behaviour reports went up to October, 11 more of them, while Barrow, Penrith and Carlisle all went down. Workington is getting two extra community beat officers, as we reported earlier, so there should be more bobbies about.
What you can do: if you were there and know something, or have footage, ring Cumbria Police on 101 or report it online on the force's website. If someone's in danger, call 999. Cumbria Fire and Rescue has fireworks safety tips on its website too.
Police in Workington are reviewing a video shared online that appears to show a lit firework being dropped near spectators at the community bonfire on Westfield Drive, Mossbay, on Thursday night.
This is for families in Mossbay and across Workington who went to, or were thinking of going to, a community bonfire this week, and for anyone who has seen the video doing the rounds online.
Police are reviewing footage from the community bonfire on Westfield Drive, Workington, on Thursday 5 November. The video, widely shared on social media, appears to show a young man holding a lit firework and then dropping it on the ground, where it explodes close to spectators, who are seen running away.
The bonfire itself, organised by the Mossbay community, has been praised as a success, but people commenting online said the incident upset young children who were there.
Inspector John Bradley of Workington Neighbourhood Policing Team said: "We will review the footage circulating and if criminal offences are identified we will be in touch with those involved." He added: "Officers were out on patrol as part of the planned Bonfire Night operation." Patrols were sent to the location at around 8pm.
The incident comes as Workington stands out in the county's anti-social behaviour figures. Under Operation Enhance, the high-visibility patrol scheme now in its third year, Workington town centre was the only targeted area to see a rise in reports up to October, with 11 more reports, while Barrow, Penrith and Carlisle town centres all saw falls. Workington is also due to get two extra community beat officers under the county's neighbourhood policing uplift, as Marra News reported earlier.
What you can do: if you were there and have information or footage that could help, contact Cumbria Police on 101 or report it online through the force's website. In an emergency always call 999. Fireworks safety advice is on the Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service website.
