Angry response: Anichebe and a friend were wrongly accused[LNB]Everton's[LNB]injured striker Victor Anichebe says a police apology did not go far enough after he and a friend were wrongly accused of attempting to steal from a Cheshire jewellers. [LNB]Police officers tried to grab Anichebe's crutches to stop him 'escaping' after they were directed to the store in Knutsford by CCTV operators who reported two men acting 'suspiciously'. [LNB]Anichebe, 20, was outside the store with a friend, who was handcuffed during the incident. Both were involved in what police described as a 'heated dialogue' with officers, but neither was detained. Police apologised and said an officer had been 'advised' about his action. [LNB]Anichebe said that, while he welcomed the police apology, he did not feel 'it constitutes the unreserved apology we were seeking and which we believe is justified under the circumstances'. [LNB]He added: 'I asked the officers if they would have taken the action they did had I been white rather than black.'[LNB] [LNB]
