Police patrols have been on alert after three nights of violence targeted a Berkshire dairy owned by Muslims. The Medina Dairy in Windsor was hit by a suspected petrol bomb on Wednesday evening, on the third night of unrest.
Police increased their patrols in the Dedworth area, but said there had been no incidents of violence on Thursday night and no further arrests.
Three people were arrested on Tuesday and one was later charged with being in possession of an offensive weapon.
Police had said they would use "robust policing tactics" to bring the situation under control.
'Verbal dispute'
Police have said another two petrol bombs were found near the dairy.
The disorder started on Monday evening following what is believed to have been a minor verbal dispute between a group of youths and another person.
The former Express dairy is now owned by Muslim owners who run a 24-hour operation and have proposed plans for an Islamic religious centre on the site.
On Tuesday night, large groups of people gathered in the area and police arrested two 16-year-old boys and a 23-year-old man.
One of the 16-year-olds was later charged.
If the trouble makers were to be routinely dropped off on the Somalia coast, the issues in Merry Old England would likely rapidly decline.
Would I be wrong to advocate dropping them off from 20,000 feet?
Being in possession of an offensive weapon? What is that? - A Baseball Bat? - A Knife? - A sharpened pencil? It sure is nice to have a Second Amendment!
