Thirty five arrested following Hull disorder

ACC Thom McLoughlin said: “We continue to work relentlessly to take action against everyone involved in the abhorrent disorder last weekend, Saturday 3 August.

“We have now arrested 35 people in connection with this criminality; some of whom have already appeared before the courts facing charges.

“There has been a lot of misinformation circulating online today about further protest activity across the force area and I urge people to please be mindful about information you see and choose to share online.

"Please consult trusted sources of information, such as ourselves, the local authority and the fire service if you see information that concerns you. We have specially trained intelligence teams scanning continuously to verify information and should we confirm accuracy, we will make direct contact with those likely to be affected.

“Like the majority across the country, I am disgusted and disappointed at the racial hatred seen last weekend. I know some are angry and may feel the need to protest against the violence we saw. However, I now call for calm to be restored and normality to resume, whilst my officers continue to work bravely in very challenging circumstances to keep our streets safe and bring those responsible to justice.

“Our investigation teams are working tirelessly at looking into all criminal activity, whether committed in person or incited online. Our work to review the CCTV and video footage obtained continues in order to identify the remaining individuals involved. 

“This momentum will not stop, we will not relent and we are prepared to keep going until every person is in custody.”
