Four bailed in connection with Birmingham v Wolves match day violence

Four men arrested as part of an investigation into disorder at a football match have been bailed pending further investigation.

Published

All four were detained as officers made dawn visits to addresses across the Wolverhampton area yesterday, after violence flared at the derby match between Birmingham and Wolves earlier this month.

They have all been bailed with strict conditions which prohibit them from attending any Wolves matches in the coming weeks.

Two more men were arrested later in the day yesterday – one of whom also featured in the CCTV appeal as his identity had not been confirmed.

A seventh man also handed himself into police after seeing himself in the images that were released – he was also bailed with conditions while the investigation continues. And another man has been identified following the appeal and will be spoken to by officers in due course.

Officers are continuing to appeal for help to track down those involved in the violent scenes after the match.

Police are still keen to speak to these men

Anyone who recognises any of the remaining eight men in the images is asked to come forward and contact police as soon as possible. Call DI Paul Joyce on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
