Detectives investigating Bonfire Night chaos in part of Halifax last year are still looking for 22 people.

Last month, police released images of 29 men they want to speak to about the night of November 5, 2022 when residents were “terrorised” by a gang of up to 80 youths hurling fireworks.

Around 100 police officers were deployed to Parkinson Lane where fireworks were being set off towards buildings and cars.

Detectives say they have since identified seven of those whose pictures were released – but there are still 22 to find.
