NORTHUMBRIA Police has so far secured 39 convictions from 100 arrests after riots in Sunderland a year ago this week.

- DANIEL HALL

The force continues its search for 19 offenders linked to riots in the city last August, which followed the Southport killings and a social media frenzy that followed.

Yesterday, the National Police Chiefs' Council released pictures of a number of people suspected being involved in "some of the most serious disorder" in Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Bristol, Bolton and Southport. There are 19 suspects apiece in Sunderland and Middlesbrough, four in Bolton, six in Bristol, and nine in Southport.

Det Ch Insp Graeme Barr of Northumbria Police's Major Investigation Team (MIT) said: "Following the disgraceful disorder in Sunderland last August, we immediately launched a full investigation to identify all of those responsible. To date, more than 100 arrests have been made with 39 people convicted and sentenced for their parts and a total of 60 years of prison time handed out."
