Police arrested a 14-year-old boy on Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of riotous behaviour linked to recent disorder at the Nailors Row interface in Derry. The boy remains in custody. This marks the second arrest in 24 hours related to unrest in the area.

A 13-year-old boy had been arrested the previous day on the same charge and released on bail for further enquiries. Incidents occurred on April 20-21 and May 4-5 in the Bishop Street, Fountain, and Nailors Row areas. Some participants wore masks.
