A police officer that followed two teenagers in a van shortly before they died in an e-bike crash could be sacked, despite the vehicle being half a mile away at the time of the fatal collision.
Kyrees Sullivan, 16, and Harvey Evans, 15, died in May 2023 when they crashed on a Sur-Ron bike minutes after CCTV captured them being followed by a police van in Ely, Cardiff.
The van was approximately half a mile away from the e-bike, on a different road, when the fatal crash occurred, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), has said.
In the aftermath of the teenager's' deaths, tensions between locals and police at the scene led to a riot lasting several hours, during which time dozens of officers were injured, property was damaged and cars were set alight.
Previously, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said the driver of the police van had been told they were being criminally investigated for dangerous driving after being served with a gross misconduct notice.
