More than a dozen people have appeared in court charged in connection with disorder which followed a fatal collision in the Ely area of Cardiff last year.
Harvey Evans, 15, and Kyrees Sullivan, 16, died after they crashed on an e-bike. Police said no other vehicles were involved.
The incident happened minutes after CCTV captured them appearing to be followed by a South Wales Police van.

The force referred itself to the police watchdog, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), after the crash, that happened in Snowden Road around 6pm on 22 May.
A total of 31 people have been charged in connection with the disorder – 27 with the offence of riot, and a further four with causing or threatening to cause criminal damage.
Eight defendants, who are between the ages of 15 and 17, cannot be named for legal reasons.
The first 13 of those charged appeared at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court on Thursday morning.

Kyle Telemaque will also face a separate trial over allegations of drug dealing.
As well as the riot charge against him, McKenzie Danks was also charged with two counts of assaulting an emergency worker.
Ryan Knight, 19, did not attend his hearing and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
More defendants are due to appear in court on Friday.
The court heard how a crowd began to demonstrate “hostility towards the police” in the aftermath of the crash.
‘Countless missiles thrown’
Prosecuting, Alex Orndal told the court the situation had escalated due to rumours that police had been “pursuing Kyrees and Harvey” at the time of the collision.
The court heard “countless missiles” were thrown at officers, from “rocks to bedframes”.
One officer was “hit by a petrol bomb” but sustained “no lasting injury”.
In total, the court heard that 32 officers and one member of the public were injured.

The defendants confirmed their names, addresses and dates of birth.
It was explained to each of them that rioting was an indictable only offence, which meant it could only be tried in front of a jury at a crown court.
No indication of pleas was given and District Judge Stephen Harmes granted them unconditional bail to appear next at Cardiff Crown Court on 21 October.
In statements released after the teenagers’ deaths, Harvey’s family said their hearts were “truly broken”, and Kyrees’s family said the pair were loved “not only by their families but by their community as well”.
