Police are working with agencies to minimise domestic abuse
A tough approach is going to be taken against alcohol-fuelled domestic violence during the rest of the World Cup, a police force has announced.

Northants police stress they are adopting a positive arrest policy over abuse allegations they investigate.

At the same time police are working with partner agencies to ensure domestic abuse is kept to a minimum.

Supt Richard James said: "There's no excuse for domestic violence and we'll make arrests and bring prosecutions."
