Senior Sergeant Steve Sutherland says police are keen to view any video footage of the riot taken by people who were in the area at the time.

'Our investigations into the incident are continuing and it doesn't stop when people have been arrested,” says Steve. 'We want to see as much footage as possible so we can identify those who took an active part in the riot.”

Police have also viewed numerous videos posted on media and social media sites and it is likely many more people had recorded parts of the riot on their mobile phones.

'It would be very helpful for our investigation to gather as much information as we can and we hope those who hold that information will be able to assist us.”

The 63 people arrested are facing a variety of charges including disorderly behaviour, assault and assault with a weapon.

Most have been summoned to appear in the Gisborne District Court on January 18 and 19.
