Robocops ready for England fans

**Robbo** · 21st May 2004

English football fans heading to Euro 2004 were warned today they face a force of hi-tech "robocops".

Portuguese police have spent �8 million on an armoury to crush hooliganism at the tournament and will have on standby a rapid-reaction force of specially trained riot officers. The list of how the money has been spent shows the scale of preparations for the arrival of 1.2 million fans on 12 June. It includes 17,640 pepper sprays, 1,465 riot truncheons and 40 stun-grenade launchers.
