Detectives have issued photographs of 10 people they want to talk to in connection with rioting in Hull.
Police officers were attacked, shops looted and fires started as violence flared in the city centre on 3 August following a demonstration involving anti-immigration protesters.
Dozens of people have been arrested and jail sentences have already been handed out in a number of cases.
Humberside Police urged people to contact them if they recognised any of the people pictured in the CCTV images.
Assistant Chief Constable Thom McLoughlin said the ongoing invetsigation included "reviewing and scouring CCTV, dashcam, body-worn and mobile phone footage".
He added: “As part of this, we are now releasing a further set of CCTV images of people that we would like to speak to in connection to this investigation and I ask anyone who recognises these individuals or has any information about the disorder, to please contact us on our non-emergency number 101 quoting Op Executive.”
About £400,000 of damage was caused when the Shoezone, O2 and Lush shops on Jameson Street were looted.
Missiles were hurled at a line of police officers guarding a hotel housing asylum seekers on Ferensway and trouble also broke out in the Spring Bank area of the city.
The violence in Hull erupted as part of a wave of disorder that spread across parts of the UK following the fatal stabbings of three girls in Southport on 29 July.
