Police release CCTV pictures from Whiterock parade

Detectives investigating attacks on police during and after the Whiterock Parade last month have reappealed for anyone with information to come forward.

Police came under sustained attack, which included attacks with petrol bombs, blast bombs and live rounds, during several days of trouble following the parade on September 10.

Police have issued photofits of people they wan to speak to relation to the trouble. It is believed these people may have information that could help detectives with their enquiries.

Police also appealed to those involved in the disturbances to come forward and to speak to police directly.

West Belfast District Commander, Chief Superintendent David Boultwood, said: “Police are using all available means, including extensive CCTV footage from the scene, to identify anyone involved in public disorder. Our footage is extensive and clearly shows us the perpetrators of this violence. We are asking them to come forward before our officers have to knock on their doors

“I would appeal to the community to work with us to prosecute anyone involved in public disorder. Criminal behaviour will not be tolerated. We are determined to bring before the courts those who have taken part in serious public disorder.”
