Six Arrested Over Coleraine Somme Disorder
Six people have been arrested by police in Coleraine, County L'Derry, as part of investigations into disturbances that took place during a Battle of the Somme commemoration parade on 1 July this year.
Operation Chimera has been launched to identify individuals believed to have been involved in offences in the area of Somerset Drive, Pates Lane and Killowen Street in the town.
Inspector Ian Armour explained Operation Chimera said: "Police are committed to keeping people safe and I believe this operation will lead to more arrests and see people brought before the courts.
"The vast majority of Coleraine people want to lead positive lives, free from violence and threat. There can be no justification for disorder and this planned operation shows that we are committed to keeping communities safe.
"We have been planning for Operation Chimera since the first week of July and so were able to make swift arrests. For those arrested yesterday and in the coming days, due legal process will follow and where sufficient evidence exists, we will bring charges or forward files to the PPS."
