A man who looted shops and vandalized 10 cars appeared in court over the UK riots – with a 13-year-old also admitting crimes today in a separate case.
John Honey, 25, pleaded guilty to three counts of stealing from Lush, the O2 store and Shoezone during riots in Hull on August 3.
He also admitted causing racially aggravated criminal damage to a BMW and damaging nine other cars.
Honey is expected to be sentenced at a court in Hull later today.
Shoezone and O2 were also looted.
A 13-year-old girl also pleaded guilty on Tuesday to threatening unlawful violence outside a hotel housing asylum seekers in Aldershot, Hampshire.
The teenager, who cannot be identified due to her age, sat with her parents as she admitted the crime outside Potters International Hotel on July 31.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said she was seen punching and kicking the hotel entrance.
She will be sentenced at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court on September 30.
Thomas Power, a senior prosecutor, said: “This alarming incident will have caused genuine fear among people who were being targeted by these thugs – and it is particularly distressing to know that such a young girl took part in this violent disorder.
“Large-scale public unrest is never acceptable and the Crown Prosecution Service will not hesitate to respond quickly and robustly to uphold law and order.”
His conviction comes as analysis by the PA news agency shows that at least 50 young people under the age of 18 have been charged in connection with the national disorder.
