Lush looter avoids jail again after breaching suspended sentence

A LOOTER who got a very welcome birthday present when he narrowly avoided being jailed after serious rioting in Hull city centre has again managed to stay out of prison - despite breaching his suspended sentence.

Father-of-two Josh Hill became one of the few people arrested after the mass disorder to be spared prison - but now, after his birthday stroke of good luck back in March, he has again defied the odds to be given what could be his last chance to stay out of custody.

During the rioting, he took advantage of the violent scenes of trouble to go into the Lush store, grab a bag and help himself to as much as he could carry, Hull Crown Court heard.

Hill, 27, of Hull, admitted breaching a suspended prison sentence imposed for an offence of burglary at the Lush store on August 3 last year.
