THREE women have been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder after windows at a bar were smashed.

Police were called to a report of a disorder incident at a bar in Market Place, Bingley, at about 1.15am on Saturday.

Officers discovered that damage had been caused to the exterior of the bar, called Firepit.

The T&A visited the bar today and there was visible damage to three of the large windows, while a door was also boarded up.

While the windows are thought to have been smashed in Saturday's incident, the damage to the restaurant's door is understood to have happened over the summer.

The windows appeared to be double-glazed, so the inner window was still intact in all three panes.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said officers arrested two 20-year-old women and a 30-year-old woman on suspicion of violent disorder, after investigating the circumstances.

All three have since been released on police bail pending continuing enquiries.

A full statement from the force said: "Police were called to a bar on Market Place, Bingley, at about 1.15am on Saturday to a report of a disorder incident in which damage had been caused to the exterior of a bar.

"Following enquiries three women aged 20, 20 and 30 were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder.

"All three have now been released on police bail pending continuing enquiries."

Councillor Geoff Winnard (Con, Bingley) said things like this happen from time to time and has urged people to stay safe when on a night out in the town.

He said: “Bingley has a very thriving night-time economy and it is very important that people who come into Bingley, or are in Bingley on a night-time, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights, are kept safe and behave in an appropriate way.

“It’s always worrying when there’s occurrences of anti-social behaviour and I think it’s important police ensure the town is kept safe for most people who want to go into town and enjoy themselves.”

He added: “When it does occur, it’s very important strong action is taken.

“We need to try support the great facilities in the town for the majority of well behaved people.

“I want police and establishments to work together to ensure this behaviour is very rare and action is taken against people when this occurs.”
