“Cardiff Riots Sparked by Police Involvement in Fatal Accident”

On Tuesday night, the police referred to it as false rumours. Now a clip showing a police car following an electric bicycle shortly before the accident will be investigated.

The accident, which happened at around 18:00 local time on Monday evening, has led to widespread riots in the city, and many blame the police for the deaths of the two boys, who were 15 and 16 years old.

On the night of Tuesday, several cars were set on fire, and 15 police officers were injured in clashes. A number of people have been arrested.

It was long unclear what caused the chaotic scenes. The police reported on Monday evening that they moved to the Ely area in Cardiff after a serious car accident, and that the riots started after this.

Now they acknowledge that they are aware of a clip showing that a police car followed the electric bike just minutes before the accident, and that this is to be investigated by a special unit.

• The newspaper The Telegraph wrote night to Tuesday that there were rumors on social media that the car accident was caused by a police chase. The police then said that the accident had already happened when they arrived in the area.
• At the end of the day on Tuesday, a recording from a surveillance camera was made public, which shows that a police car followed an electric bicycle a few minutes before the accident. The police now acknowledge that they are aware of the clip, and that they will investigate the incident.
• They still say that there were no police present in the street where the accident happened when the e-bike crashed.

It happened at a press conference at 5pm on Tuesday afternoon, writes The Guardian – 23 hours after the fatal car accident.

People in the local community are furious that the police took a day to tell the truth.

– The police have lied since this happened. The only reason they admitted to being involved in a car chase was because the video became known, say friends of the boys The Guardian.

According to the newspaper, the area of ​​Ely is one of the most disadvantaged in Cardiff, which is the largest city in Wales in the UK.
