PSNI Releases 12 July Disorder Photos
PSNI detectives investigating under Operation Titan have released a further 15 images of people they want to speak to following serious public disorder in north and east Belfast during the 12 July parades.
Loyalist protestors clashed with police as officers attempted to uphold a Parades Commission ruling that said the Orange Order and flute bands could only march through a predominantly nationalist area of north Belfast once on 12 July.
Violence and disorder broke out, as loyalist marchers and protestors threw bricks, bottles and other missiles at police officers.
To date, a total of 99 people have been arrested as part of the investigation. A total of 72 people have been charged and 10 people are being reported to the Public Prosecution Service.
Detective Superintendent Sean Wright said the investigation has received strong support from the public.
"There are people out there who will know the identity of these 15 people who I am looking to speak to," he said.
"I am confident that those people will come forward with that information.
"It is vital that we all send out a message to those involved in public disorder that such behaviour will not be tolerated. Those who break the law must face consequences for their actions. They will be dealt with appropriately and proportionately through the criminal justice system."
The Operation Titan team are investigating a broad range of offences including the attempted murder of police officers, blast bomb attacks on police, hi-jackings, rioting throughout the Greater Belfast area, breaches of Parades Commission determinations and unlawful protests.
Anyone who may be able to identify any of the individuals is urged to contact detectives at the Major Incident Room on 028 90 901775 from 9am to 10pm Monday to Friday.
Alternatively, the independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
The 15 images can be viewed via the PSNI website.
