Detectives investigating incidents of violent disorder in Merseyside last summer have made a further arrest.
The 35-year-old man from Wigan has been arrested on suspicion of Violent Disorder which took place in Southport on Tuesday 30 July. He has been interviewed and bailed for further enquiries.
A total of 167 arrests have now been made, with 125 charged and 99 people sentenced to a total of 198 years and four months in prison.
Detective Inspector Paula Jones said: “This latest arrest demonstrates that we continue to remain steadfast in our investigation to identify more people who attended the disorder in Merseyside.
“The abhorrent behaviour of those who took part brought disgrace to the region and will not be tolerated. We continue to be committed to ensure those responsible are held to account, including those who travelled to Merseyside to be involved in the disorder.
“We would encourage anyone with information to contact us so please take a moment to view or latest gallery of people who we think have information to assist.”
Anyone with information can contact us via @MerPolCC, 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
