Dorset Police officers reprimanded for Bournemouth pitch invasion

Three police officers have been reprimanded for taking part in a pitch invasion while off-duty and celebrating their team's promotion.

The Dorset Police officers were among fans who spilled onto AFC Bournemouth's turf at Vitality Stadium after the side secured a return to the Premier League.

The force said it had asked the officers to "reflect on their involvement" in the incident on 3 May.

Other staff have also been reminded about expected standards of behaviour.

Supporters were seen letting off flares and surrounding the players and coaches after the match against Nottingham Forest.
