Arsenal’s Nicklas Bendtner has been arrested and cautioned for causing criminal damage at his apartment block in Hertfordshire.
The 25-year-old striker was taken in by police on Monday (November 25th), though in a post to his Instagram account Bendtner insisted that the incident was harmless, saying:
“On Saturday night after our win against Southampton I went out with my family and friends for dinner. After our dinner we all wanted a night swim in my gym so we changed to shorts and brought towels down.”
He continued: “As we arrived at the gym my key fob changed the colour from red (locked) to green (open) but the door remained closed. We thought the door was stuck so we tried to open it and it caused some damage. I apologise for any inconvenience for my neighbours and I have paid in full.
“We had no part in damaging anything else in the building. The matter is closed with the police, and my focus is on tonight’s match.”
Bendtner has been cautioned for the incident and as such will not go to court. Following the incident, an Arsenal spokesman said: “We do expect the highest standards to be maintained on and off the pitch and will be reminding Nicklas of this.”
