“The criminal disorder we saw in areas of Greater Manchester a month ago was shocking and struck fear right in the heart of our communities.
“Since then, we’ve worked through thousands of hours of video footage to identify and bring to justice violent individuals who assaulted police officers, members of the public, and damaged the property of local businesses, police, and people just going about their daily lives.
“Your help has seen more than 180 reports of information submitted to us which has helped identify 124 suspects. Many have been convicted in court and are now serving long prison sentences. Your help in achieving this swift justice has no doubt helped stop this disorder escalating.
“There are still some people out there who haven’t yet received a knock on the door from us, and we’d like to speak to them about the disorder. Many of our suspects may have been through court, but we’re not done yet.
“If you recognise any of these people then please get in touch and help ensure all those involved are brought to justice.”
