Two more arrested as investigation into violent disorder continues

Two men have been arrested as our investigation into the violent disorder in Staffordshire at the start of August continues.

We arrested the two men, both from Tamworth today (Monday 12 August) - a 38-year-old on suspicion of violent disorder and assault by beating of an emergency worker, and a 60-year-old on suspicion of violent disorder.  

Both remain in custody for questioning. 

We’ve been using drone surveillance, body-worn video and the National Police Air Service (NPAS) to gather footage of the people involved in the incidents that took place in Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday 3 August and Tamworth on Sunday 4 August.
