93rd person sentenced in connection with Violent Disorder in Merseyside

 
We are welcoming the sentencing of the 93rd person in connection with Violent Disorder in Merseyside last summer.
 
Thomas Price, 21, of Hewitt Avenue, St Helens, was sentenced to 20 months at Liverpool Crown Court today, Monday 13 January.
 
Price was found to have committed Violent Disorder on Saturday 3 August in Paradise Street, Liverpool City Centre. He was captured on CCTV throwing stones along with other missiles at a Police line whilst present with a large group of people.
 
A total of 165 arrests have now been made, with 125 charged and 93 people sentenced to a total of 197 years.

Detective Inspector Paula Jones said: "Price handed himself in last December after seeing himself on one of our appeals (see above). Like many others before him, he will now face the consequences of his disgraceful actions.
 
"The behaviour of Price and others in Liverpool City Centre was utterly shameful, and brought further pain to communities in mourning the tragic events in Southport just days previously.
 
"Today's outcome should show those who have yet to be identified that we will not rest until we put each and every offender before the courts. The gallery of those we would still like to speak to can be found below, and I'd encourage anyone who recognises those pictured to come forward at the earliest opportunity."
 
We would encourage anyone with information to contact us via @MerPolCC, 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
