YouTube and Soccer Aid star AngryGinge arrested after incident at British Grand Prix
@Source: dailystar.co.uk
AngryGinge has revealed that he was arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage to an F1 car following his attendance at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone . The well-known YouTuber, who represented England in the recent Soccer Aid charity match at Old Trafford, went to Sunday's Grand Prix at Silverstone alongside fellow content creators, Chazza and SamHam. However, they were detained after being accused of causing £30,000 worth of criminal damage to a BWT Racing Point vehicle. AngryGinge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, has refuted the allegations and maintains he merely sat in the car. A Northamptonshire Police spokesman said: "On Friday, July 4, Northamptonshire Police received a report that a classic Formula 1 car on display at Silverstone Circuit during the British Grand Prix event had sustained several thousands of pounds worth of damage, which was alleged to have been caused by someone accessing the display stand and climbing into the vehicle. "Officers carried out initial inquiries, and suspects were identified. Three men, aged 23, 25 and 27, were arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage to a vehicle and taken into police custody. "Following a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the incident, all three men were released with no further action." AngryGinge, a prominent YouTuber and avid Manchester United supporter, vented his frustration on a live stream about the recent incident, exclaiming: "For sitting in a car, they got us, you don't do that at F1. "They locked us up for watching somebody else sitting in a car - they locked SamHam up for watching somebody else sit in a car. They locked Chazza up for sitting in a car, criminal damage, they tried to say. 30 grand, they tried to say..." The 23-year-old continued: "Security's then come over, a very funny little moment where I've tried to grass Chaz up. Two hours have gone past, you'd have thought I assaulted someone, let me tell you…Chazza has sat in an F1 car. "I offered to show him the video there and then. The words, okay, from the gentleman in the cap, 'There's no point, mate. You can show us at the station.' What the f*** is going on here then? "We pull up into custody, he said, 'Do you want a solicitor?' And I said, 'Sarge, I'm all right, thanks'. He then replied, 'Why don't you want a solicitor?' Done f*** all wrong mate." He continued: " He's gone, 'Would you like any food and drink?' - 'What've you got, mate?' He said, 'We've got pot noodles'. "So, anyway, I've managed to fall asleep, then about 10 seconds go by, and a guy in the cell next to me starts banging for no reason. 10 o'clock in the morning, I'm thinking it is, and the door opens, I'm thinking it might be interview time. Officer opens it, 'You're free to go, there's no further action.' "I've just spent 15 hours in a concrete block, and I'm now being told, no further action. I've not been questioned, interviewed, and that's that. All three of us have just been let out at the same time, no further action, done finished."
