CNN —

Riots erupted in the Welsh capital of Cardiff on Monday after two teenage boys were killed in a car crash, according to local police.

Scenes emerged of vehicles set on fire and property being damaged during the “violent disorder,” which left several officers injured, a statement from South Wales Police said.

It is unclear how the car crash and the ensuing incident in the Ely area of Cardiff was related, but there were reports that some rioters believed the officers may have been involved in the deaths of the boys.

An unspecified number of arrests were made over the commotion, and more will follow, according to Assistant Chief Constable Mark Travis. He called the violence against emergency services and the property destruction “totally unacceptable.”
