The police had arrived and the mob had turned nasty.

The police had arrived and the mob had turned nasty.
Correct sentence.
The first 'had' is wrong.
The second 'had' is wrong.

While it might be a little awkward, I don't know why it shouldn't be correct. It's just a compound sentence (The police had arrived. The mob had turned nasty.) and both verbs are parallel (had arrived/had turned, pluperfect).
