00:00One year on, from this disorder in Hare Hills, West Yorkshire Police have pledged to bring more perpetrators of the damage and violence to justice.
00:08They're continuing to draw through masses of CCTV and footage to single out the trouble causes,
00:14with a blackened patch of tarmac on foundry approach remaining untouched, a grim reminder of the night's events.
00:21The violence began at around 5pm on the 18th of July 2024, when West Yorkshire Police responded to a disturbance between a family and social services on Luxor Street.
00:32Crowds quickly gathered at the scene, with some filming officers and confronting them.
00:37As tensions escalated, a police car's windows were smashed and it was overturned, with outnumbered officers retreating at one point.
00:44Meanwhile, videos of the disorder flooded social media, drawing national attention as the situation spilled into full-scale riot scenes.
00:53The first perpetrators involved appeared in court four days after the violence erupted, with the latest appearing just in the last few days.
01:01So far, 23 people have been convicted, attracting sentences amounting to more than 39 years in prison, although more are in the pipeline.
01:09Officers from the Homicide and Major Inquiry team have made 77 arrests, with 38 people charged so far, and more cases currently moving through the court system.
01:20West Yorkshire Police say they have been, and continue to speak, extensively with partners and community contacts across Hare Hills about the positive change they want to see in communities.
01:30Much work remains ongoing as part of Community Hare Hills to reduce crime and bring about improvements in the quality of life for residents in the area.
01:38Leeds City Council say they have continued their proactive work with partners and communities in the suburb.
