Rioter caught on CCTV looting vape shop during riots in city is locked up
Sunderland Echo
|August 20, 2025
A rioter who kicked a broken window and looted a vape shop when mass violence swept across the UK last summer has been locked up.
Paul Stoddart said he got "dragged into" the mass disorder that erupted in Sunderland on August 2 last year and mirrored similar shocking scenes around the country.
Newcastle Crown Court heard that during the widespread trouble police officers, dogs and horses were pelted with missiles as areas became unsafe for ordinary members of the public.
Stoddart's involvement in the trouble was caught on camera.
Prosecutor Omar Ahmad said: "He was seen on CCTV repeatedly kicking a broken window at the Yard building in Keel Square, where others around him also caused damage."
The vape store was looted.
This defendant was identified as one of the persons who took part in the burglary.
