UK

Police forces have released CCTV images in an appeal to identify people in connection with the far-right violence over the past week.

Merseyside Police issued pictures of 14 people, while South Yorkshire police have published 21 pictures in connection with violent disorder outside the Holiday Inn Express in Rotherham on Sunday. The hotel has been housing asylum seekers.

Violence first broke out in Southport last Tuesday following the fatal stabbings of three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club.

The unrest spread to towns and cities across the UK, and left police officers injured, as well as significant damage cause to police vehicles, homes and businesses, as well as a library which was set on fire.

Detective Superintendent Paul Speight of Merseyside Police said: “It is vital that these people make themselves known as soon as possible, as we think they can assist our ongoing investigations.

“We are still working our way through information, images and footage as it comes in, and we’ll continue to take action to arrest, charge and put before the courts anyone identified.”
