Answer
Fourteen arrests have been made by the PSNI, to date (15 September 2011), in relation to the rioting in Ballyclare and Carrickfergus on 9 July 2011.
The nature of many of the offences charged is serious and the cases concerned are under consideration by PPS prosecutors. Information is not yet available on convictions, therefore.
