Detectives investigating Violent Disorder in Merseyside have now charged 100 people.
The latest three people charged are as follows:
A 17-year-old boy from Southport charged with Violent Disorder in Southport and handling stolen goods. He will next appear at Liverpool Youth Court on Tuesday 19 November.
A 16-year-old boy from Birkenhead charged with Violent Disorder; Burglary other than a dwelling; and Criminal Damage in Liverpool City Centre. He will next appear at Merseyside Youth Court on Tuesday 19 November.
A 16-year-old boy from Southport charged with Violent Disorder. He will next appear at Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday 19 November.
So far, 144 people have been arrested with 100 now charged, and 79 people sentenced to 164 years and five months.
Detective Chief Inspector Tony Roberts is leading the team investigating the incidents of Violent Disorder in Merseyside. He said: “100 people charged is a significant milestone to reach, but does not mark the end of the road for our enquiries.
“You will continue to see arrests, charges and sentencings going through the courts on a daily basis. We make no apologies for this, and we know the vast majority of people in our communities support the robust action that is being taken against these criminals who are convicted, locally and nationally.
“The scenes in Southport, Walton and Liverpool City Centre were utterly disgraceful, and every single person involved brought shame upon themselves. More importantly, their actions caused further trauma and suffering to communities that were in shock and processing the tragic events earlier that week in Southport.
“The disorder resulted in injuries to police officers and police dogs protecting and serving these communities. Disgracefully, theft and damage was also carried out at local businesses, who found themselves targeted by thugs and looters, a mob sharing little more than a determination to commit crime.
“Very simply, we will not rest until we’ve put everyone we possibly can before the courts. To that end, I’d continue to encourage anyone with information to contact us via Public Portal (mipp.police.uk) or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
