Detectives investigating the Bradford riots have charged 25 people with the offence of riot.

Since the weekend of rioting which began on July 7 in Bradford, 142 people have been arrested, including 35 on the night.

Of those, 73 people have been charged with a range of violence offences. Of those charged, 26 have been dealt with in the courts and 47 are in the court system while the rest are on police bail. Detective Chief Superintendent Max McLean, in charge of the investigation, said officers were continuing to arrest people responsible for the disorder.

Five people charged will appear before Bradford Magistrates tomorrow.

Det Ch Supt McLean said the investigation was going very well and he thanked the people of Bradford for their support.

He said: "Of the 120 photos published in the six-week poster campaign after the riots, only 20 people are outstanding.

"We would urge people to take one more look at those pictures and to please call us if they recognise someone.

"If people have not handed themselves in yet we would advise them to contact us before we come and find them."
