A TOTAL of 27 arrests have been made in connection to serious disorder in a West Yorkshire area.

The incident occurred in Harehills, Leeds, on Thursday, July 18.

Four of those people have been charged and remanded into custody following their appearances at magistrates’ court.

22 of those arrested are currently on bail with strict conditions, while evidence is reviewed, and further enquiries are made.

One suspect has been recalled to prison for a separate matter and remains under investigation for violent disorder.

Assistant Chief Constable Pat Twiggs, said: “Detectives are continuing their enquiries into the disorder and expect to make more arrests over the coming weeks.  

“I would like to thank everyone who has submitted information into this investigation to date. We have had an excellent response in terms of the digital media received and our review team are assessing each submission.  

“I promised at the outset that our investigation into this matter would be relentless, and we remain committed to identifying all those involved and bringing them to justice, using all the investigative tools available to us.

“I would also repeat my message to those who were involved and have not yet come forward to make contact with the police now, before we come to arrest you.”
