Detective Inspector Richard Hodgkinson said: “Each week we will be issuing photos of people we would like to speak to in connection with the violent disorder that took place in Middlesbrough back in August.

“I want to take this opportunity to encourage anyone who may know any of the individuals in the images, or if you recognise yourself, to please get in touch.

“I would also urge anyone who was involved in the disorder and has not yet contacted police to hand themselves in.”
