TROUBLEMAKER JAILED FOR ROLE IN CITY CENTRE RIOTS
ONE of the troublemakers who joined in scenes “resembling a war zone” during rioting and looting in Hull city centre last summer has told a court “I lost my head”.
Jordan Briggs had been drinking all morning when he decided to go and have a look at what was happening and - as an “act of idiocy” - join in the serious disturbances. He was one of many who raided the Lush store and he stole four boxes of bath bombs, Hull Crown Court heard.
Briggs, 24, of Hull, admitted offences of violent disorder and burglary of the Lush shop on August 3.
Jane Rapin, prosecuting, said that the offences took place in the days following the murders of three girls in Southport. Briggs was seen in the area of Jameson Street - described by police as “resembling a war zone”.
He was pushing a commercial waste bin, with smoke coming from it, towards police. “Lit waste bins were being used as burning missiles and were being pushed towards officers,” said Miss Rapin.
