More violence in London. After serious clashes Sunday in the district of Tottenham, the riots in the night have moved further north, in the residential district of Enfield. About 100 boys, very young, wrapped up in the hoods of sweatshirts, stormed a few shops on the main street of the neighborhood.
At the moment the situation seems to be back under control. The officers of the Metropolitan Police have blocked access to the area where the accident occurred and are treating the area as a crime scene. In the streets you can still see broken windows, broken bottles.
Foot Looker A shop was set on fire. On Twitter, as well as on some local media, rumors are circulating of possible new disorder in the area of Edmonton. It also seems that other disorders are not even as an entity, have broken out in south London, in Brixton.
