North Melbourne player Matthew Campbell was arrested by Victoria Police this morning following an incident at Crown Casino.

Interim chief executive Cam Vale has released the following statements;

“We’ve been advised Matthew Campbell was asked to leave Crown Casino at about 1am but upon refusing, he had to be removed by security. Matt is then alleged to have damaged a parked car belonging to a Casino staff member.

“Matt was detained until police arrived and was later interviewed and released.

“We know Matt was drinking prior to the incident and we are bitterly disappointed with his behaviour. We are still to determine the next course of action regarding a club imposed sanction.”

There will be no further comment at this time as the matter is with Victoria Police.
