POLICE have issued CCTV images of 54 people who they believe could have information following violent disorder in Merseyside during the summer.

The latest appeal issued on Thursday (November 28) which includes new images that haven’t been seen before, follows the appalling scenes in Southport on Tuesday, July 3-30 and Liverpool city centre and Walton on Saturday, August 3.

So far, 151 people have been arrested in connection with disorder, with 110 charged and 84 sentenced to a combined 178 years and 10 months in prison.

Police have said these numbers “are only going to increase” as the investigation continues thanks to “vital information” provided by the public.

Detective Inspector Paula Jones said: “We continue to explore every possible avenue to find as many people as we can who took part in the despicable scenes of violence. We continue to make arrests and many of these people are now in prison.

"We make no apologies for this, and we know the vast majority of people in our communities support the robust action that is being taken against these criminals, locally and nationally. We will not rest until we’ve put everyone we possibly can before the courts.

 

“If you know any of these people pictured, or you recognise yourself in one of these images, please come forward as a matter of urgency because we believe the people in these images could be able to help our inquiries.

“If you have any information, you can call 101 or DM @MerpolCC with reference 24000663787. You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
