Police in Derry responded to another night of public disorder last night, marking the third consecutive evening of violence in the city.
The PSNI initially advised motorists to avoid Templemore Road in Galliagh following reports of fires near the roundabout.
Later, plastic barricades were set alight on Glengalliagh Road, close to the Leafair Wellbeing Centre. Authorities also confirmed that tyres and a traffic light had been set on fire.
This follows significant arrests earlier in the week.
Eight teenage boys were among those arrested following Tuesday, during what the Chief Constable described as “blatant sectarian violence” in Derry.
Nine of 11 people arrested by police in connection with disorder in Nailors Row on Tuesday night, 17 June, have been charged to appear before Londonderry Magistrates’ Court today.
A ninth person, a man aged 47 years old, has been charged with the offence of intentionally encouraging or assisting riot.
Two male teenagers, aged 16 and 17 years old, who were also arrested on suspicion of riotous behaviour on Monday night in connection with the disorder have been released on bail to allow for further police enquiries.
