A teenager has become the 27th person to be charged by Merseyside police, related to recent disorder.

The 15-year-old from Toxteth is due at Merseyside Youth Court on Monday (12th August) accused of burglary, in connection with disorder in Liverpool City Centre on Saturday (3rd August).

He has been remanded in custody until then.

"Many people who have not yet had a visit from our officers can expect one soon."

Detectives have also published images of eight people they'd like to identify, in relation to disorder in Southport and Liverpool.

Detective Chief Inspector Tony Roberts said: "These eight males need to make themselves known as soon as possible, as we think they could assist our ongoing investigations into the incidents of disorder in Southport and Liverpool.

"The violence and damage caused last week and at the weekend was despicable, and each and every person who took part can expect to face the consequences of their actions.

"We are still working through hours of footage and reams of images as it comes in and we’ll continue to arrest, charge and put before the courts anyone identified."
