On a peaceful evening in Corby, Northamptonshire, a children's football team and their parents were preparing for their regular training session at Burghley Road playing fields. However, their tranquility was soon shattered when a group of individuals on mopeds appeared out of nowhere and attacked them with a corrosive substance, causing chaos and destruction.
The unprovoked attack left five people injured and in need of medical attention, while seven vehicles were left badly damaged. The victims, who were members of Hellenic Fisher FC, were horrified as they saw the moped riders recklessly speeding towards them, throwing the unknown liquid at their cars. Some onlookers even reported feeling a tingling sensation on their skin after being exposed to the substance.
The situation quickly escalated as the police, fire, and ambulance services rushed to the scene. Sergeant Keely Cox of Corby Police assured the public that they were putting all their efforts into catching the perpetrators, as they believed this was not a targeted attack. The moped drivers were seen fleeing towards the clubhouse before disappearing into the night.
Thankfully, despite the chaos and damage caused, there were no serious injuries reported. However, the incident has left many shaken and fearful. Hellenic Fisher FC coach Russell Dickinson shared his experience of the attack, revealing that his car was one of the most damaged and would require extensive repairs.
The club's chairman, Paul Cunningham, also expressed his concerns about the lack of safety measures at the playing fields. The fence had been broken for four months, and the clubhouse had been closed for two years without any repairs being made. He emphasized the importance of prioritizing the safety of everyone involved in the club and urged the council to take action.
Club Secretary Chris Moorey echoed these sentiments, stating that they had been requesting motorbike gates for some time now, but nothing had been done. He also highlighted the potential danger that the closed clubhouse posed in case of an emergency.
The incident at Burghley Road playing fields was a shocking and alarming event, but it has brought to light the need for better safety measures in the area. The authorities and the council must work together to ensure the well-being of the community and prevent such incidents from happening again in the future.
