A total of 100 people have been arrested in connection with the disorder, 62 charged and 45 sentenced to nearly 100 years in prison due to their involvement last month.
A 19-year-old man from Crosby became the 100th person arrested when he was detained on Wednesday, 11 September 2024 on suspicion of violent disorder in County Road, Liverpool. He has been taken to a police station for questioning.
Detective Chief Inspector Tony Roberts said:- "Without the public's help, we would not have been able to bring these people to justice and put them behind bars. However, there is still more work to be done and our investigation continues. Do you recognise any of the 64 faces in this video we have issued today? We believe they could assist our investigation and urge them, or anyone who knows them, to come forward."
