Police confirm more than 60 arrests over disorder

Eleven police officers were injured during the violence in Hull on 3 August

Humberside Police have confirmed 61 people have been arrested and 22 people charged following disorder in Hull on Saturday 3 August.

The deputy chief constable Dave Marshall described the events of 3 August as “utterly shameful” and said they had taken robust action to get those who committed offences off the streets.

He said two protests yesterday were “carried out peacefully” and no arrests were made.

DCC Marshall said he was “incredibly grateful” to see communities coming together and supporting the police on the ground.

He said: “We are seeing a return to normality within Hull and across our force area.

“However, I understand that communities and businesses may continue to feel nervous, but I would like to offer reassurance and thank people for returning to the city and supporting businesses and events following last week’s disorder.“

During the violence on 3 August, police officers were attacked with missiles, shops were looted and a hotel housing asylum seekers was also targeted.

In the days following the violence, DCC Marshall said he was “incredibly grateful to see how our communities have pulled together to support our officers on the ground".

"Along with other goodwill gestures which have all been much appreciated by officers, partners, and local businesses since the event of last weekend."

He said officers were still pursing those involved in the disorder in Hull and appealed for anyone with information or footage contact them.

Referring to protests which took place yesterday, he said: "They were carried out peacefully and there was no disorder before, during, or after these events.

"No offences were committed, and no arrests were made."
