The scenes followed unrest on Tuesday in St John's Way, Bracken Road and Elm Road, when properties were damaged with windows smashed and fences broken, and people attempted to break into a residential property, police said. Witnesses reported a crowd of more than 200 people in Clover Way, with eggs and rocks thrown at houses and chants of "We want them out". The police then separated the protesters into two groups before moving them away from the area.
