Homeless man jailed for stealing during Manchester riots
A homeless man has been jailed for 22 months at Manchester Crown Court today for stealing during riots on 3 August.
Scott Chadwick, 34, stole alcohol from a Sainsbury’s supermarket and tried to steal from a vape shop whilst the unrest occurred in the city centre.
Passing sentence, Judge Nicholas Dean KC told him: “What you did has got nothing to do with protest, politics or events in Southport and everything to do with the mob mentality when people gathered.
“It’s just loutish, looting behaviour.
“This was utterly shameful behaviour of the type that plainly requires a sentence of immediate custody.”
