We'll soon be pausing our live coverage. We were following the police press conference, with Deputy Chief Constable Rachel Bacon, on the deaths of two teenagers in Ely, Cardiff on Monday, and the riots that followed.
- Bacon told reporters that a timeline established by the force after hours of investigating CCTV footage confirmed a police vehicle was not at the site of the crash – Snowden Road – at the time it happened
- She also said the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is investigating whether the police were pursing the teenagers prior to the crash
- Meanwhile, Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford said he feels "profound sorrow" for the teenagers killed in the incident. He said the riots that followed caused "reputational damage" to the community
- Drakeford added that the police have questions to answer and that an independent investigation will allow people to make a "rounded judgement" about the way the force responded to events
