       Chief Inspector Daryl Lyon from Coventry Police, said during the initial appeal: "These videos are sickening and we really need to understand what’s gone on.

       "We are urging the kids and their parents to come and speak to do the right thing and come and speak to us at Coventry Central police station or phone us on 101.

       "I also need the people who were attacked to get in touch. We want to make sure they’re OK."

       Police had previously urged people to refrain from sharing the videos on social media, saying the victims had a right to anonymity and that sharing the videos could have an impact on any potential future court cases related to the incident.
