Two previous appeals to identify individuals who may be able to help with the investigation resulted in a number of leads.

“Our investigation is very much ongoing and we are again asking for your help – if you recognise anyone pictured in the latest set of images please do get in touch with us.”
He added: “The right to lawful protest is a key part of any democracy which the police will uphold and facilitate. However, violence and disorder is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated.”
