DEMENTORS ATTACK ROTHBURY
Muggle village decimated by wraith army
01/08/1980 - Three days after Dementors descended upon the small muggle village of Rothbury, Northumberland, Ministry officials are still scrambling to make sense of the devastation. The town of little under two-thousand found the majority of its residents in an incurable vegetative state on the morning of July 30th. Clean up of Rothbury has since commenced and Obliviators and muggle liaisons are hard at work to disguise the massacre from the non-magical community.

It is unclear why Rothbury was targeted or what prompted the sudden rebellion. However, early reports are indicating that the creatures have indeed joined You-Know-Who and are now effectively out of Ministry jurisdiction. Dementors have held contracts with the British Ministry since 1811 and have long refrained from feeding upon the general public. Prior to Rothbury's destruction there had been no overt signs of unrest among the Dementor population. The attacks have prompted desperate attempts by representatives for the RCMC to initiate negotiations, yet, without any inter-species hierarchy, there are no guarantees any progress will be reached.

While the implications of rogue Dementors are unspeakable, spokesmen for the Minister of Magic have assured the public there is no need to panic. Safety manuals on how the average witch or wizard can protect their homes and families will be provided free of charge in the coming weeks to every magical household.

The living remains of muggles destroyed in the attack have been shipped to St. Mungo's for disposal.
