Stacey Vint jailed for violent disorder

The judge says that the offences are aggravated by the fact that they were committed in public areas where children were present. Bullock was wearing a balaclava to hide his identity.

The judge says:

Stacey Vint – you have not had an easy life. Your life has been blighted by drugs and alcohol. I accept that you had no racist motivation to commit this offence.

Charlie Bullock – I have read the pre-sentence report prepared about you. You accept responsibility for your actions that day. I recognise that you are vulnerable with ADHD and you had not taken your medication.

You both chose to take part in an organised and large scale act of public disorder. Police officers were injured. Police vehicles were damaged and there was large scale damage to public buildings and motor cars.

The community in Middlesbrough are rightly outraged by this behaviour. Only a custodial sentence can be justified.

Vint is caged for 20 months.

Bullock locked up for 18 months.
