YouTube star AngryGinge has been arrested

Northampton Police have confirmed the incident

Northampton Police said that a classic F1 car which was on display at Silverstone had taken thousands of pounds worth of damage on Friday before Sunday's main event.

The 23-year-old streamer from Salford, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, was accused of causing criminal damage to a BWT Racing Point F1 Team car alongside fellow streamers Chazza and SamHam.

All three deny these charges.

A Northamptonshire Police spokesperson said: "On Friday, July 4, Northamptonshire Police received a report that a classic Formula 1 car on display at Silverstone Circuit during the British Grand Prix event had sustained several thousands of pounds worth of damage, which was alleged to have been caused by someone accessing the display stand and climbing into the vehicle.

"Officers carried out initial inquiries, and suspects were identified.

"Three men, aged 23, 25 and 27, were arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage to a vehicle and taken into police custody.

"Following a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the incident, all three men were released with no further action."

Images showed the streamer being escorted away from Silverstone by police on social media.

He was taken with the other streamers for questioning at Northampton Criminal Justice Centre, 17.3 miles away from the British GP circuit.

The streamer gave his own version of events, jokingly wearing an orange jumpsuit with a pair of handcuffs on a live stream.

AngryGinge said: "For sitting in a car, they got us, you don't do that at F1.

"They locked us up for watching somebody else sitting in a car - they locked SamHam up for watching somebody else sit in a car.

"They locked Chazza up for sitting in a car, criminal damage, they tried to say.

"30 grand, they tried to say..."
