The First Minister of Wales has condemned “completely unacceptable” scenes in Swansea, where a vigil descended into violence.
Mark Drakeford said the disorder would “not be tolerated anywhere in Wales” and thanked police officers for bringing the incident under control.
South Wales Police asked people not to return to the Mayhill area of the city and warned those involved should expect to face “robust action”.
The force urged residents to stay indoors on Thursday night as they dealt with the disorder, which saw cars on fire in the middle of the road and crowds cheering as a vehicle was rolled down a hill.
