Halifax Bonfire Night disorder CCTV released
- Published
Officers investigating Bonfire Night trouble in which a teenager died have released new CCTV of people they want to speak to about the disorder.
West Yorkshire Police said they had arrested 28 people in connection with incidents in the Park Ward area of Halifax on 5 November 2022.
Mohammed Qais Ratyal, 17, died after falling through a greenhouse.
Det Ch Insp Michael Cox asked the community to get in touch if they could identify anyone pictured.
An inquest into the teenager's death heard how he was one of a group who had travelled from Bradford to the neighbouring town and had been setting off rockets.
Police received a number of reports about firework-related incidents and Det Ch Insp Cox said the force was committed to "bringing those responsible for the disorder to justice".
"We were clear in our run-up to Bonfire night last year that we would fully investigate any anti-social behaviour by those who seek to risk the safety of the wider community," he said.
"A young man suffered fatal injuries in the area during these Bonfire Night incidents and we are directly appealing to the local community to get in touch if they can identify any of those pictured below."
A police spokesperson said the 28 arrests had been on suspicion of criminal damage, public order and firework offences.
All have been released under investigation or bailed with conditions.
