Greater Manchester Police have arrested the Savills estate agent who allegedly posted a racist tweet about black England football stars after the Three Lions lost the European Championship to Italy.
Andrew Bone, 37, self-presented at Cheadle Heath police station this morning and was subsequently arrested on suspicion of an offence under Section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act.
Bone, a commercial building manager, claimed that his Twitter account had been hacked after Savills suspended him over a tweet published on Sunday night which said: 'N*****s ruined it for us.'
The message was posted shortly after England players Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho all missed their penalties in Sunday night's Euros final at Wembley Stadium.
Three officers carrying evidence bags and a police radio searched Bone's terraced home in Manchester and spent 20 minutes gathering evidence before they left clutching a laptop.
