CCTV footage helps police with incidents in Manchester derby

Police have made four further arrests after releasing CCTV pictures of a number of fans wanted in connection with trouble at last week's Manchester derby. Trouble flared at the Carling Cup semi-final first leg between Manchester City and Manchester United at Eastlands last Tuesday. City won the game 2-1 and the second leg takes place at Old Trafford on Wednesday. Officers released CCTV footage of a number of men they believed were involved in disorder on Tuesday and it appears to have paid off. A Greater Manchester Police spokesman confirmed that four arrests had been made in Manchester. He added that a further four were made on Wednesday - two in Oldham, one in Preston and one in Bradford. Eighteen arrests were made last week after the match and appeals have been made for calm ahead of Wednesday's game.
