CPS decides not to prosecute police driver after two teenagers died
Tributes left for Kyrees Sullivan, 16, and Harvey Evans, 15, in Ely, Cardiff, whose death in a car crash sparked a riot, May 24, 2023
THE police officer who drove the van involved in the death of two teenagers in Cardiff two years ago will not face criminal charges over the incident, prosecutors have decided.
Kyrees Sullivan, 16, and Harvey Evans, 15, died in May 2023 when their electric bike crashed minutes after CCTV captured them being followed by a police van in the city’s Ely district.
Subsequent police statements about the incident and tension between local people and South Wales Police led to a riot in the impoverished area.
