Petrol Bombs Used In Coventry Disturbance
The Coventry Telegraph has confirmed that Petrol Bombs were used in the disturbance in Cheylesmore yesterday.
Just a quick note as I stated earlier that the reports of the use of petrol bombs was unconfirmed this is no longer the case.
The article goes on to state that a man in his 40s was arrested in connection with the attack. If this turns out to be correct then he really should have known better.

Sangat TV - Sky Channel 847
For anyone who missed it last night here is the clip from Sangat TV in which the "Crew" help police apprehend rioters in Birmingham.
Sangat TV became a trending topic on Twitter last night following its coverage of the Birmingham Riots.
The raw footage shown on Sangat TV was filmed by an intrepid camera man and his driver whilst traveling through Birmingham, West Brom and surrounding areas. It shows the the riots from a unique perspective and they broke some news, including the death of the three brothers, before major outlets.
Confusing? Yes Slightly odd? Yes but I would highly recommend flipping onto this channel tonight should there be further troubles in Birmingham, however I hope its services will not be needed!

Here is a picture of the remains of a van which was set alight by vandals in Cecily Road Cheylesmore.
It looks like the Council will be getting it removed shortly but it may already be gone (Picture taken around 8am). The Coventry Observer have asked permission to use this picture in the paper. If anyone else would like to use it or my others please let me know.

| Van Ablaze in Cecily Road, Cheylesmore |
A van was set alight in the Cheylesmore area of Coventry last night as minor troubles continued to flare in the city. The fire started late on Tuesday in Cecily Road and Police were quick to respond.
Some local residents allege that petrol bombs had been used to ignite the vehicle but as of yet this is still unconfirmed.
West Midlands police were quick to respond to the blaze and Chief Inspector Kerry Blakeman confirmed on Twitter that arrests had been made following an "isolated incident".
The blaze followed a day when many City Centre businesses had closed early and taken extra security measures due to fears of rioting in the city.
