Cardiff Riots: Police refers itself to its watchdog after CCTV shows force chasing an electric bike

South Wales Police has referred itself to its watchdog after CCTV footage showed a police van following two people on an electric bike before a fatal crash that sparked a riot in Cardiff

Serious disorder broke out in the Ely area of the Welsh capital last night after the deaths of two boys, Kyrees Sullivan, 16, and 15-year-old Harvey Evans, who was riding an electric bike.

The video, lasting a few seconds, shows a bike travelling along Frank Road in Ely less than one mile from the suspected crash site on Snowden Road with a police van a few metres behind it.
