A police officer driving a van who followed two teenagers before they both died in an e-bike crash in Cardiff will not face criminal charges, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) says.
The CPS said there was insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction.
The driver of the police van, along with another officer in the vehicle, had previously been served with gross misconduct notices.
The deaths of Kyrees Sullivan, 16, and Harvey Evans, 15, sparked a riot in the city's Ely suburb.
