Police have arrested two more people in Tamworth following rioting outside a Holiday Inn in the town.

Petrol bombs and bricks were thrown at the hotel on 4 August, as part of protests linked to the fatal stabbing of three girls in Southport in July.

Staffordshire Police say two 28-year-old men, from Tamworth, have been detained on suspicion of violent disorder.

The pair are continuing to be questioned in custody.
