Police Seek Suspects from Last Year's UK Riots

In the aftermath of the violent unrest that swept across the UK last summer, police are still searching for around 40 suspects believed to have been involved in the riots. The suspects, wanted by five different police forces, are accused of committing "significant" public order offenses, such as throwing bricks and carrying out serious assaults.

Nearly a year after the riots, authorities are urging the public to help identify the remaining suspects. According to the National Police Chiefs' Council, nearly 1,900 people were arrested in connection with the violence, and 1,110 have been charged so far. By the end of March, 821 individuals had been convicted.

Assistant Chief Constable Ian Drummond-Smith warned that "justice will be swift" for anyone considering similar behavior, and that police are working hard to contain any "small pockets" of disorder that may arise this summer. The unrest last year was sparked by false claims about the identity of the person who killed three girls in Southport.
