Two more individuals have been charged in connection with the recent violent disorder that erupted in Southport and Liverpool, bringing the total number of people facing charges to 24.
Andrew McIntyre, a 39-year-old resident of Cousins Lane, Rufford, has been charged with multiple serious offences, including encouraging an offence of murder, encouraging violent disorder, and possession of a bladed article. McIntyre is scheduled to appear before Liverpool and Knowsley Magistrates Court today, Saturday, August 10.
The charges stem from the ongoing investigation into the unrest that has gripped parts of Merseyside in recent days. Authorities have been working tirelessly to identify and apprehend those responsible for inciting and participating in the violence.
A spokesperson for Merseyside Police stated, “We are committed to bringing those involved in this violent disorder to justice. The safety and security of our communities are our top priority, and we will continue to take robust action against anyone found to be involved in such criminal activities.”
The charges against McIntyre follow a series of arrests and court appearances this week, as law enforcement agencies move swiftly to address the violence that has shocked the local community. The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any information that could assist in the ongoing investigation.
As the legal proceedings continue, local leaders and law enforcement officials are calling for calm and urging residents to work together to restore peace and order in the affected areas.
