Seventh person charged as Newport disorder 'condemned'

A seventh person has been charged following a night of disorder in Newport which has been "condemned" by police and the city's council.

A 16-year-old is the fifth male to be charged with violent disorder in the Pill area of Newport on Thursday.

Another man and a teenage girl have been charged with breaching a dispersal order and are on bail after being held on suspicion of violent disorder.

Council leaders and Gwent Police met on Monday in a bid to tackle the disorder.

"We condemn the unacceptable scenes we experienced on the streets of Pill during a night of disturbance and disorder last week," said a joint statement from Gwent police and crime commissioner Jeff Cuthbert and Newport council leader Debbie Wilcox.

"This type of behaviour will not be tolerated and there will be consequences for those involved."
