More photographs released in relation to disorder that followed Bolton-Wigan match in August

Officers in Bolton have released the photos of three more people they would like to speak to following disorder that followed a football match.

So far 15 suspects have been arrested and bailed following the violence that took place in Westhoughton after the Bolton Wanderers-Wigan Athletic match on Saturday 19 August 2023.

Two men were detained immediately after the incident that saw around 50 people fighting with a further 12 arrested in early-morning strikes in November.

A man in his 30s handed himself into a police station yesterday (19/12/23) and has also been released on bail.

Superintendent Danny O'Neil, of GMP's Bolton district, said: “We have made several arrests around this incident, but it is still very much a live inquiry.

“We are building a strong case and want to hear from anyone who was in Westhoughton at around 4:30pm on the 19th of August.

“There were innocent people caught up in the violence and that simply will not be tolerated.”
