Police investigating Distillery Street disorder release images of "people they wish to speak with"

Police have today released images of "people they wish to speak with" in relation to disorder in Belfast on Saturday.

The PSNI said it is in relation to an investigation into incidents on Distillery Street on August 8.

Superintendent Melanie Jones said: "Today we are releasing six images of individuals that we would like to talk to in connection with our ongoing investigations into disorder during which 29 police officers were injured."

Police say they are hopeful the individuals pictured will contact them directly.

Supt Melanie Jones added: "By releasing these images I am hopeful that either the individuals themselves will contact police directly or the wider community can help us identify them.

"We are also aware of videos circulating relating to the disorder and are continuing to examine their contents.

"We are committed to identifying those involved in this significant disorder and we will be relentless in our pursuit in bringing offenders before the Courts.

"It is in everybody's interest - as well as in the interest of justice - that those responsible are dealt with appropriately and I would urge anyone who may have any information to bring it forward to Police at Musgrave police station by calling the non-emergency number 101. 

"Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous."
