Large-scale disorder broke out in Swansea as a vigil descended into violence.
Police warned people to stay indoors amid chaotic scenes on the streets of the city’s Mayhill area on Thursday night.
Images and footage posted on social media showed cars on fire in the middle of the road and crowds cheering as a vehicle was rolled down a hill.
Local Welsh Parliament member Tom Giffard called the scenes “disturbing”, while Welsh secretary and Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire MP Simon Hart said: “A tough night for the police dealing with such reckless behaviour. No excuses, police right to robustly respond.”
