To date, police say they are "pleased" to report that the tournament has passed "relatively peacefully" across the county.

However, on Tuesday night, when England played Germany in the round of 16, 20 incidents were recorded across both Wiltshire and Swindon, with six arrests made in total.

As lockdown isn't fully lifted yet, people are being asked to keep following Government guidelines.

This means meeting indoors in groups of up to six, or two households, and outdoors in groups of up to 30.

Police also say there has been a trend in the use of pyrotechnic devices, including smoke bombs.

These pose a "genuine risk" to the person using them and the wider public, especially indoors, where they pose a serious fire risk, the force has warned.

Superintendent Phil Staynings said: “It is great to see the national team doing so well at the tournament and we understand the excitement that comes with that.

“We just ask people to be mindful of not letting that euphoria spill over into criminal activity.

“Whilst, to date, we have had a good response from the public and the celebrations have been well mannered, we have seen an increase in anti-social behaviour in relation to the England games.

“We stress, especially being a weekend, that people drink responsibly and don’t let their actions impact negatively on the community.

“Drink driving or violence of any kind will not be tolerated by Wiltshire Police and there is no excuse for it."
