Two teenagers who died after a crash in Ely were not being chased by police when the collision happened, a police boss has said again. On Tuesday in a press conference, South Wales Police said they would be investigating CCTV footage which showed two people on an electric bike being followed by a force van just moments before the crash that sparked riots.
On Tuesday afternoon, the boys were named locally as Kyrees Sullivan, 16, and 15-year-old Harvey Evans . Friends of the two boys, who were from the Ely area, said they were riding a Sur-Ron electric bike without helmets when they died on Snowden Road. They said their families were desperate for further information from the police about what happened — you can read what we know about the incidents and the unanswered questions here
Police said they were called to reports of a crash in Snowden Road at 6:03pm on Monday and the video from a house in the area appears to show a bike being followed by police at 5.59pm on a road about 900 metres away. South Wales Police says the collision had "already occurred" when officers arrived.
