Violent Disorder: Leyland man is 125th person sentenced
A Leyland man who threw missiles at police officers and forced his way into a shop is the latest person to be jailed in relation to Violent Disorder in Merseyside last year.
Curtis Wright, 21, of Southbrook Road, Leyland, was jailed for 22 months for Violent Disorder and Burglary other than a dwelling at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday 21 March.
On Saturday 3 August, Wright was seen to throw missiles at police officers on Paradise Street, Liverpool City Centre, before going with others to a phone repair shop on Church Street and forcing entry to the premises.
Detective Inspector Paula Jones said: “Wright joined a mob in Liverpool intent on causing damage and harm to officers, members of the public and businesses, just days after the tragic events in Southport.
“As well as the fear caused to those communities, we sadly saw multiple officers hurt carrying out their duties to protect and serve the communities. Our officers and staff will continue to identify, pursue and bring before the courts those who brought such shame to the region.”
Anyone with information should continue to come forward, through @MerpolCC, 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
The total of people arrested by Merseyside Police has now reached 184, with 146 charged and 125 people sentenced to a combined 230 years and six months so far.
