Police target football hooligans
Humberside Airport
Extra police will be looking for trouble-makers
Football hooligans are being targeted by Humberside Police with extra officers being brought in before England travel to Sweden.

More than 70 people in East Yorkshire are subject to football banning orders and forbidden from attending matches.

They have received letters reminding them not to attempt to travel and demanding their passports be handed in before the end of the week.

Police will be watching both Hull's docks and Humberside Airport.

Officers will be on the look-out for known trouble-makers at King George dock and the airport in the run up to the game in Gothenburg next Wednesday.

Hooligans banned from attending the games must report to their local police station on the day of the match.
