Officers investigating significant violent disorder in Sunderland have released the images of eight people who they would like to identify.
On the evening of Friday, August 2, police responded to reports of widespread disorder in the city centre.
An investigation was launched and officers have since made a number of arrests in connection with the incident – with a string of people charged, and 15 offenders convicted to date.
As part of their ongoing enquiries, police have today (Wednesday) released the images of eight people who they would like to trace.
They were believed to have been in the area around the time of the disorder and could have information which would assist the investigation.
Those pictured, or anyone who recognises them, should send Northumbria Police a direct message on their social media channels, or use the live chat function on the Force’s website.
