Police said officers had arrested a total of 73 people in relation to disorder in the east of Leicester

Seven men arrested by police investigating disorder in Leicester have been released on bail.

Last week Leicestershire Police said the men - aged 21 to 25 - were detained on suspicion of violent disorder in connection with an incident on 22 May.

The force has now released CCTV footage of men they want to speak to over the disturbance.

Officers are leading a wide-ranging investigating after large-scale unrest broke out in September.

It followed tensions involving mainly young men from Muslim and Hindu communities.
