Police have released fresh images of people they want to trace following the rioting in Rotherham earlier this year.

Over 60 police officers, three police dogs and a police horse were injured during the unrest at the Holiday Inn Express in Manvers on August 4.

Parts of the building were set on fire during the rioting, which was set off by disinformation spread online about the stabbings in Southport.

8\6 people have since been charged and handed a combined 150 years' worth of prison sentences.

Officers have released images of 21 people they suspect of involvement who they are still trying to find.

Anyone with information can contact South Yorkshire Police on 101, or make a report via this link.

Images of the suspects can be viewed below:
