Police condemn 'revenge attacks' after Bedlington teenager Bethany Fisher killed in crash

Car tyres have been slashed in ‘revenge attacks’ following the death of a teenager in Bedlington .

Police have urged the community not to take the law into their own hands as they revealed the 10 vehicles targeted were not involved in the fatal crash on Sunday.

Bethany Fisher, 19, died in a crash on Victoria Terrace in the Northumberland town early on Saturday, reportedly after a night out celebrating her birthday.

Despite the efforts of neighbours and paramedics, she died of her injuries before she could reach hospital.

Jordan O’Donnell appeared at South East Northumberland Magistrates’ Court on Monday in connection with the collision.

Now Northumbria Police have asked the community to “come together at this difficult time and not take the law into their own hands” on their Twitter account.
