Appeal for Public Assistance: Help PSNI Identify Individuals Involved in Recent Disorder

The PSNI is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying those involved in this week's disorder across Northern Ireland. Some 63 police officers have been injured in what has been called a “week of shame” in Northern Ireland.

Week of Disorder
Disorder started in Ballymena on Monday after an alleged sexual assault of a girl in the Co Antrim town at the weekend, and continued throughout the week. A number of homes were targeted, and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive has said about 50 households have received assistance across the week, and 14 families provided with emergency accommodation.

Police Appeal
Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson urged the wider community to help identify individuals depicted in the released images, stating it is in the interest of justice that those responsible are brought to account.

Ongoing Investigations
ACC Henderson mentioned that 17 people have been arrested in connection with the disorder, with 13 facing criminal charges. He emphasized a heightened police presence across Northern Ireland to maintain public safety and reassurance.
