Two more people were arrested by Humberside Police last night in connection with disorder in Hull on Saturday (03/08) bringing the total to 37.

They're questioning a 17-year-old and a 20-year-old.

4 men have also been charged in connection with the unrest in the city, with a 35-year-old charged with violent disorder and possession of Class B drugs yesterday (07/08).

He's due in court today.

ACC Thom McLoughlin said: “We continue to work relentlessly to take action against everyone involved in the abhorrent disorder last weekend, Saturday 3 August.

“There has been a lot of misinformation circulating online today about further protest activity across the force area and I urge people to please be mindful about information you see and choose to share online."

“Our investigation teams are working tirelessly at looking into all criminal activity, whether committed in person or incited online. Our work to review the CCTV and video footage obtained continues in order to identify the remaining individuals involved.

“This momentum will not stop, we will not relent and we are prepared to keep going until every person is in custody.”
