Cars set on fire in Cardiff as UK police face 'large scale disorder'
Unrest erupted after two teenagers died in a road accident, say officials
A car burns after being set on fire, on Highmead Road, Ely, in Cardiff, after a crash following a serious road traffic collision on Snowden Road in Ely in Cardiff on Tuesday.
Several dozen youths pelted police with objects and set cars and trash bins ablaze in Cardiff in local unrest that erupted after after two teenagers died in a road accident, officials said Tuesday.
Police said “large scale disorder” broke out after officers were called to the scene of a crash in the Ely district of the Welsh capital on Monday evening.
Scenes livestreamed on YouTube showed dozens of people, many wearing hoods or ski masks, milling around while others threw objects and shot off fireworks at a line of police officers with riot shields who were blocking one end of the street.
A fire was burning and a helicopter could be heard hovering overhead. Shortly before midnight, a car was set on fire and burned fiercely, while a second vehicle was overturned and set ablaze.
The mayhem continued into the early hours of Tuesday, and at one point police officers were stationed outside Ely Police Station after suggestions it could be targeted.
South Wales Police said officers had made arrests, but did not say how many.
South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Alun Michael said a dozen police officers were injured. None was in a life-threatening condition.
Michael the violence started after “there was a road traffic accident involving two teenagers on an off-road bike or scooter and sadly they died.”
He said rumours swept the area that the accident followed a police chase, “which wasn’t the case.”
Police said the crash “had already occurred when officers arrived."
Resident John Urquhart said tensions rose in the area when police failed to tell local people what had happened.
“There was no attempt to communicate with the crowd and they showed nothing but disdain for the community and acted like we didn’t deserve to know what happened on our own doorstep,” he said.
“There was nobody going through the crowd. Crucially, I think the police really needed people to be out talking to the community and putting their minds at ease.”
