It is believed this was the first time the Queen's Night event was conducted but investigations are underway to detect if similar activities were conducted before.

"We have recorded statements of about 30 people. We also remind those who attended to give their statements willingly before the police conduct more arrests," he said, adding that police have the full list of participants.
