A MAN is due in court this morning after he has charged with violent disorder in connection with disturbance in Pill on Thursday evening.

Six people, aged between 13 and 24, have been charged in relation to offences committed on the evening of October 20, four with violent disorder charges and two with breaching a dispersal order.

Two 13-year-old boys and one 16-year-old boy have been charged with violent disorder and all three have been bailed to appear before court on Tuesday, November 22.

A 17-year-old girl has been charged with breaching a dispersal order and has been bailed to appear before court on Tuesday, November 1.

A 20-year-old man has also been charged with breaching a dispersal and has been bailed to appear before court on Tuesday, November 8.

Emergency services were called to Commercial Road at 8.35pm on Thursday, after receiving reports of disorder along the street, with riot police deployed.

A dispersal order will remain in place this weekend and extra patrols will take place across Newport to reassure residents and prevent further disorder.

Local Policing Commander Glyn Fernquest said: “These results show our zero tolerance approach to this completely unacceptable behaviour.

“We are taking this incident extremely seriously and will bring justice upon those involved. The six charges made send a clear warning to anyone intent on causing trouble.

“We will find you. We will arrest you and you will go before the courts and suffer the consequences. Think about what this will mean for you.

“We are still reviewing CCTV footage to identify others involved. I’d also like to urge any members of the public with footage or information of the incident contact us.”

A violence disorder charge can carry a sentence of up to 14 years in prison.

Anyone with information about the incident in Pill is urged to call the police on 101 quoting log number 524 20/10/16.
