Trio locked up for part in city's far-right riots

Council worker Connor Hicks, 20, Cameron Williams, 29, and John Williams, 32, all attended the protests in the city centre on August 2 last year, and became actively involved in the widespread disorder.

All three were seen behaving aggressively towards police officers, with brothers Cameron and John Williams throwing pint glasses at the police line.

Cameron Williams, of Ridley Street, Southwick, Sunderland, John Williams, of Tennyson Avenue, Boldon, and Connor Hicks, of Exeter Street, Pallion, Sunderland, appeared at Newcastle Crown Court on Tuesday to be sentenced for violent disorder. All three had pleaded guilty.

The court heard that Hicks and his cousins John Williams and Cameron Williams all attended the racist protest together, which soon descended into violence. A car was overturned and set alight and riot police were attacked during the widely condemned chaos.
