Dozens charged over riot following fatal e-bike crash in Cardiff last year

A total of 31 people have been charged in connection with the riots in Cardiff last year.

Some 27 people have been charged with the offence of riot, while a further four have been charged with causing or threatening to cause criminal damage.

The disorder in the Ely area of Cardiff last May followed the tragic deaths of teenagers Kyrees Sullivan and Harvey Evans who died in a crash involving an electric bike.

The crash happened on Snowden Road at around 6pm on 22 May.

Following the collision, fireworks and other missiles were thrown at a line of police officers, while at least two vehicles were set alight.

Police confirmed shortly after the incident that 11 injured officers were taken to hospital, while four others were treated at the scene.

The Crown Prosecution Service said there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could prejudice legal proceedings.

The defendants range in age from 15 to 53 and are expected to appear at Cardiff Magistrates' Court in the coming weeks.
