Today, Friday 10 January, detectives have progressed the investigation into violent disorder on Merseyside with a further arrest and charge of two men.
Detectives have arrested a 33-year-old man from Chester on suspicion of violent disorder and stirring up hatred by words, behaviour or by displaying written material in Liverpool city centre on Saturday 3 August. He is in police custody to be questioned.
The suspect was captured on CCTV footage throwing objects at the police, encouraging violence and criminal damage of police vehicles and shouting racist comments while marching through Liverpool city centre with a mob of angry protestors.
Daniel Cunningham, 27 years, of Rumney Place, Walton has been charged with Burglary other and violent disorder which took place on County Road in Walton on Saturday 3 August. He has been bailed with conditions and will appear at Liverpool Magistrates Court on Thursday 23 January.
Detective Inspector Paula Jones said: “This latest arrest and charge 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 have reviewed more than 12,000 pieces of footage, and we will not stop until we’ve put everyone we possibly can before the courts.”
The total number of people arrested by Merseyside Police has now reached 165, with 125 charged and 91 sentenced to 191 years and four months in prison.
We would encourage anyone with information to contact us by calling 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
