Officers in Bolton have released the photos of three more people they would like to speak to following disorder that followed a Bolton Wanderers football match.
Officers have arrested and bailed 15 suspects following violence which took place in Westhoughton after the club’s clash with Wigan Athletic in August.
Around 50 people are believed to have been involved in a fight.
Police detained two men at the scene.
And an early morning strike in November led to a further 12 arrests.
Yesterday (Tuesday) a man in his 30s handed himself in to a police station and has been released on bail.
Now police have released images of three men they wish to speak to.
Superintendent Danny O’Neil, of GMP’s Bolton district, said violence would not be tolerated.
He said: “We have made several arrests around this incident, but it is still very much a live inquiry.
“We are building a strong case and want to hear from anyone who was in Westhoughton at around 4:30pm on the 19th of August.
“There were innocent people caught up in the violence and that simply will not be tolerated.”
People with information should contact police on 0161 856 5757 quoting log 2621-19/08/2023.
The violence in August was not the first time the fixture has been met with disturbances.
Disorder also took place following a 4-0 home defeat at the home side in Bolton in October 2021
