Youths and Adults Sentenced for Disorder Across UK

Two 12-year-old boys have been convicted of violent disorder following unrest triggered by a knife attack in Southport. A total of 975 individuals have been arrested, with 546 charged. Among the convicted are an 11-year-old in Belfast, a man jailed for three years in Plymouth, and individuals in Middlesbrough and Southampton.
Two 12-year-old boys have been convicted of violent disorder following unrest in the UK, becoming the youngest to be sentenced.

One boy, caught on CCTV throwing an object at police during Southport unrest, admitted his crime at Liverpool Youth Court.

The other boy, who threw a missile at a police van in Manchester, faced two charges of violent disorder.

The recent protests, initiated by the knife attack that claimed the lives of three young girls in Southport, have led to the arrest of 975 individuals and charges against 546, according to the National Police Chiefs' Council.

In Liverpool, the boy involved in the 30 July disorder was released on bail ahead of his 17 September sentencing.

The Manchester boy, seen participating in a group attack and further vandalism on 3 August, was remanded to local authority accommodation until his 2 September sentencing.

An 11-year-old boy in Belfast faces charges for throwing petrol bombs and causing explosions during city disorder.

At Plymouth Crown Court, Guy Sullivan, 43, was jailed for three years for violent disorder after seizing a police baton amid protests.

A 22-year-old man, Thomas Roger, received a 26-month sentence at Teeside Crown Court for violent disorder and weapon possession after throwing a vacuum cleaner through a student house window during Middlesbrough protests.

In Southampton, scaffolder Lee James, 42, was jailed for 12 months for possessing a knuckle-duster at an anti-immigration protest.

Transport Secretary Louise Haigh emphasized ongoing vigilance despite recent de-escalation, supported by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's direct involvement after canceling his European vacation.
