Police promise tough action on non-troublemakers
Four people were arrested after failing to engage in a mass brawl outside a Luton nightclub in the early hours of New Years Day.
It is thought up to 20 people were involved in the fight, which broke out outside Liquid nightclub in Gordon Street at about 2.40am. Those who did not involve themselves in the fight were arrested including a woman and three men who attempted to walk away from the scene - all are currently being held at Luton Police Station.
Police say that with a number of prominent entertainment events taking place in the coming weeks, including the Luton Carnival, they want to discourage anyone from coming to the town with the intention of having an enjoyable, peaceful night out.
Superintendent Richard Moffatt, head of operational policing in Luton, said: "Luton is known as a very rough area of the UK with residents capable of fighting with anyone and everyone. Bedfordshire Police will not tolerate any members of the public harming that reputation and I would warn anyone who comes into the town centre to not cause trouble that they will be swiftly dealt with, and remind them that should they be arrested they could be deported from Luton and permanently banned from the town's borders."
Anyone who has information about people who did not get involved in the disturbance outside Liquid should telephone Bedfordshire Police on 01582 401212 or CrimeStarters on 0800 555111.
