Two men questioned about disturbances that took place in East Belfast last week have been released without charge.

Six people have been arrested in connection with the two nights of violent riots, in which a photographer was shot, and extensive damage done to houses in the Short Strand and Lower Newtownards Road areas.

Police say an “extensive” investigation is underway to identify those involved in the disorder.

A 22-year-old male from the west Belfast area was arrested on 22 June under the Terrorism Act.

The following day, a 28-year-old man also from west Belfast was detained. Both have since been released unconditionally.

On 24 June, a teen was arrested on suspicion of rioting and on Monday, two males were arrested for riotous behaviour. One of the pair is expected to appear in court next month, while the other has been released on bail pending further enquiries.

On 28 June a further male was arrested and charged for riotous and disorderly behaviour. He is also due in court in July.
