Nine arrests after Cardiff riot following crash that killed two teenage best friends
Five of those were arrested early on Thursday, South Wales Police said in a statement.
It comes after community anger at officers, who said they had not been near the vehicle at the time of the crash, although CCTV showed a police van following the teenagers on an e-bike shortly before the collision."During the incident several vehicles were set alight, property was damaged, police officers were injured, and people were scared in their own homes," the force said.
Two boys aged 16 and 17 and two men aged 18 and 29 were arrested in Ely while another man, aged 21, was arrested in Temorfa. They were held on suspicion of riot. Four arrests were also made on the night and the day - two boys aged 15, a 16-year-old boy, and a 15-year-old girl.
