POLICE have appealed to Burnley residents for help in catching 20 Bradford rioters involved in last year's disturbances.

Detectives believe that the trouble makers have links to the Lancashire town including having family there.

Information received from the local Bradford community about these people has been sparse, leading detectives to believe that they may not be from the area of the troubles.

West Yorkshire Police have released a total of 212 images on 12 separate posters since the riots and 70 per cent of those shown have handed themselves in.

They arrested a total of 255 people in connection with the riots, which devastated Bradford. They have so far charged 196 with a variety of offences including 120 charged with Riot, the most serious public order offence in English Law.

Detective Inspector Tony Craven senior investigating officer with Operation Wheel said: "The poster campaign so far has been extremely successful and the entire community across Bradford has responded superbly. However, the 20 people shown here remain unidentified and I now believe that they may be from further afield."
