England defender Dan Burn said: “I’ve not lost anything personally, we found out from you guys [the media].
“It’s with the police now so not sure how much I can comment. It’s not really been spoken about, so that just shows for us that they aren’t too worried about it – it’s not really disrupted our preparations.”
Jackson County prosecutor Melesa Johnson said: “Jackson County will not tolerate any criminal activity that targets World Cup visitors, including the international teams that have travelled here to compete.
“We thank the Kansas City Police Department and our on-call attorneys for their quick work investigating this incident and filing charges immediately. Our office is committed to holding these individuals accountable.”
