South Wales Police issued an update in the early hours of this morning (Tuesday, May 23) after "large scale disorder" broke out in the Ely area of Cardiff yesterday. The trouble flared after what police described as a "serious road traffic collision".
Police told the PA News agency that the collision “had already occurred when officers arrived”. Rioters were still on the streets more than nine hours later.
Shortly before midnight, a car was set on fire and burned fiercely. A second vehicle was then overturned and set ablaze.
