Police arrest 15 at cricket international

Police arrested 15 people and ejected another 46 fans from Wellington's Cake Tin during last night's one-day cricket international in which Australia squeaked home against New Zealand.

Those arrested face a variety of charges including disorderly behaviour, offensive behaviour, and possession and smoking of cannabis.

Police were generally pleased with the 15,000 strong crowd. "They were vocal but overall we were pretty pleased with the way the night went," a spokesman said.
