COPS have arrested nine people over riots that broke out in Cardiff after a crash that killed two teenagers.
Kyrees Sullivan, 16, and Harvey Evans, 15, were tragically killed on Monday night in Ely, Cardiff, when the electric bike they were on crashed.
Their deaths sparked riots on the residential street after rumours that officers were to blame for the smash started spreading.
Now cops say Four men aged 16, 17, 18 and 29 were arrested in the Ely area and one man aged 21 was arrested in Tremorfa.
They all remain in custody on suspicion of riot.
It comes after two 15-year-old boys, a 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy were arrested earlier this week.
They are all on police bail pending further enquiries.
It comes after footage from a RingDoorbell cam shows two young lads racing down the road with a police van following immediately behind them.
Alun Michael, crime commissioner for South Wales, had previously rubbished the claims of a pursuit prior to the smash.
But cops yesterday confirmed this footage was taken at 52 seconds past 6pm on Monday.
