The various reactions of rioters as police arrest them at residence

This is the moment rioters from the last two weeks of disorder faced justice for their involvement as police knocked on doors to arrest them.

Police have released bodycam footage of their interactions with those arrested for taking part in the clashes across the country, with courts now expediting charging and sentencing to crack down on violent behaviour.

In one clip, a man, whose identity has been protected, tells police ‘I’ve been expecting ya’ before inviting officers inside following his disorderly behaviour in Bristol last weekend.

Another video showed several officers confronting a man inside his house before taking him off in handcuffs. The man, also unnamed, is seen shaking his head as he steps into a police van.

More than 700 arrests have been made and 302 people charged, police said on Friday as they promised ‘hundreds’ more were to come. 

Of the 741 total arrests made so far, 32 relate to online offences such as ‘incitement’.

Police said arrests have been made in 36 of the 43 force areas covered across England and Wales.

Some were timestamped as recently as Thursday evening. 

West Yorkshire police shared footage of Jordan Parlour, 28 from Leeds, being arrested before he was sentenced for publishing written material intended to stir racial hatred.

The so-called ‘armchair thug’ was the first to be convicted for his online posts in connection to the riots.

He was deemed to have urged yobs to ‘smash the f**k’ out of a hotel housing asylum seekers in Leeds last week.

Parlour – who was unable to take to the streets for violence because he had broken his heel – turned to social media to incite protesters to target the Britannia Hotel in Leeds, West Yorkshire. 

The hotel, in the Seacroft area of the city and close to Parlour’s home, had been attacked with rocks and a window had been broken – though it was not the scene of mass violence.

In Rotherham, also South Yorkshire, horrendous scenes showed a far-right mob trying to set fire to a Holiday Inn Express housing asylum seekers on Sunday.

Terrified asylum seekers told The Times how rioters ran through the corridors of the hotel shouting obscenities at them.

‘They came into this floor and hit me until the police drove them down the corridor,’ one told the newspaper.

Police were still trying to identify 24 men in connection with the attack on Thursday.

Violent riots came to a head last weekend, with focus on the two hotels housing asylum seekers in Manvers, Rotherham and Tamworth, Staffordshire.

Bottles were launched at police, witnesses said, and red flares apparently lit outside the hotel in Tamworth as a mob tried to set the building on fire on Sunday night.

Police said three petrol bombs were launched at the hotel, and one officer suffered a broken arm, with fireworks thrown from a ‘hostile’ crowd.

Around 700 violent anti-immigration protesters clad in balaclavas and draped in St George’s flags also clashed with officers in Rotherham on Sunday.

Objects and pieces of wood were flung at officers who had lined up in front of the building with at least one cop in riot gear being carried away by their colleagues.

The grass around the hotel appeared to have been set on fire.

Some were seen preparing to throw bricks of concrete as the violence spiralled.

Video shared by South Yorkshire police showed a man on Thursday being arrested on suspicion of violent disorder with intent to endanger life at Manvers on Sunday.

The suspect was heard asking police, ‘Will I come out today?’ as he was detained.

Detectives are using a variety of sources to identify suspects, including drone and born-worn video footage of the riots.

Police have warned that facial recognition can help identify even those wearing masks at riots.

Under current laws rioters face up to five years in prison if convicted of violent disorder, with a number already being jailed for years after admitting to offences in last week’s unrest. 

Talks are also underway between the government and football authorities to impose bans for supporters found to have taken part in the riots as a deterrent.

Football clubs and police are already looking giving match bans ticket holders who are found to have taken part in the riots, but the government could come down even harder on the perpetrators, the i reports.

Under The Football Offences Act anyone found committing offences, including using offensive language and physical violence, in the two hours either side of a match can be given a football banning order.

A source told the outlet there is currently a ‘liaison’ to establish ‘what sort of overlap we are seeing between’ football hooliganism ‘and what we have seen unfold in places like Rotherham, Hull and elsewhere’. 

‘There are good grounds for thinking that at least some of those who look to cause trouble at football grounds have also been involved in the aftermath of Southport.’

Controversially, a court in Belfast heard that anybody present at a riot would be remanded in custody, even if they were only a ‘curious observer’.

District Judge Francis Rafferty said someone’s presence at a riot alone made them involved as he refused two bail applications, as reported by The Telegraph.

Cameron Armstrong, 18 from Belfast, was charged with rioting in the Connswater area of east Belfast after his solicitor argued that while his client was on the ‘periphery’ of the scene, he denied being involved in any of the rioting.

The defence solicitor said his client had gone to ‘have a look’ but left when petrol bombs were thrown.

‘He doesn’t have to throw a petrol bomb or brick to be involved in disorder, if he’s present at disorder,’ Judge Rafferty said. 

‘Anybody involving themselves in this type of behaviour, this type of disorder, as an active participant or a curious observer can expect to be, save for the most exceptional circumstances, remanded into custody, and this defendant is remanded into custody.’

The full scope of this provision was unclear.

Riots and counter-demonstrations have swept the nation since July 30 in the wake of the killing of three little girls in Southport on July 29.

The suspect was not initially named, granted automatic anonymity due to his age.

But as misinformation spread online that the perpetrator was an Islamist asylum seeker, his identity was revealed as a 17-year-old from Lancashire.

Judge Menary KC cited ‘idiotic rioting’ in parts of the UK in his reasoning for lifting the anonymity.

Suspect Axel Rudakubana has since been charged with murdering three children at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on July 29. 

He is accused of killing Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, with a kitchen knife on Monday.

Eight other children sustained knife wounds, with five of them left in critical condition.

The rioting soon spread to other parts of the country regardless, with a mob setting a Citizens Advice bureau alight in Sunderland.

ITV journalist Jonny Blair wrote on Twitter/X on Saturday: ‘Its manager this morning told me they’re devastated and now trying to figure out how to help the people they were supposed to see.’ 

The mob also threw rocks at the taxis of two Filipino nurses brought in to help the injured amid the violence.

An NHS source told The Mirror they were terrified.

‘They managed to get through but they were obviously fearful about what might happen to them.

‘They were both very shaken by the incident,’ the source told the newspaper.

Video showed the moment two Sunderland riot suspects were arrested at their homes after the unrest.

A man wearing camouflage Crocs was seen getting into the back of a Northumbria Police van in undated footage.

Sky reported that a 19-year-old and a 31-year-old were arrested at separate addresses in Washington, Sunderland, bringing the total number of arrests to 18 so far, as of Friday. 

Police also shared video of the arrest of Leanne Hodgson, 43, of Holborn Road, Sunderland after she was seen pushing wheelie bins at a police line ‘and inciting others’ during riots.

Hodgson was jailed for two-and-a-half years for her involvement in the riots.

She also ran into an officer deliberately and called another a ‘f****** Black c***’ during the clashes on August 2.

Newcastle Crown Court heard that she was ‘clearly under the influence of alcohol and shouting abuse at officers’ when police saw her.

Video went viral of Leanne, pictured in pink shorts, launching wheelie bins in the general direction of police, all stopping short before hitting. 

Bottles scatter across the floor as onlookers watch Hodgson raise her arms and scream from the sidelines.

‘I don’t know where she keeps finding these bins,’ one says, before two men in hoods take over.

An officer said Hodgson had later ran straight at him and collided with him in what he deemed ‘clearly a deliberate act’.

He said when he looked at her afterwards she was ‘laughing and pointing at him’.

Hodgson was identified by police from the videos shared on social media. 

Mother-of-five Stacey Vint, 34, was separately jailed for 20 months at Teesside Crown Court for her part in the ‘unprecedented’ violence witnessed in Middlesbrough town centre on Sunday.

She was seen last week running at speed with a burning wheelie bin before attempting to ram it at police before falling to the ground between the police line.

Vint was surrounded by the police in riot gear, having also achieved nothing with her violent launch of a wheelie bin, and was arrested.

Having been found to be carrying cannabis after her arrest, Vint also admitted using or threatening unlawful violence and possession of a class B drug. 

Earlier in the day, Vint had yelled at and abused police officers, and refused to leave the scene after being asked several times. 

John Garside, prosecuting at Teesside magistrates court, said: ‘At 4pm on August 4 the defendant was seen pushing a wheelie bin which was on fire into police officers.

‘She fell to the ground and was arrested, providing police with a false name.

‘She had one previous conviction for theft from a dwelling.’

She was denied bail and remanded in custody until her sentencing on Friday.

Since then, a number of a mostly peaceful counter-protests have taken place across the country.

Amid threat of more than 100 violent demonstrations taking place nationwide on Wednesday, anti-racism protestors took to the streets to hold banners and chant in support of the communities impacted by the bout of deplorable violence.

Hundreds gathered in Walthamstow to see off far-right thugs, with a police presence on standby.

Police were as quick to act when Labour councillor Ricky Jones, who sits on Dartford Borough Council in Kent, gave a speech at the demonstration that included the egregious remarks: ‘We need to cut the throats’ of ‘disgusting nasty fascists’.

This drew some cheers and sporadic applause from people stood around him, with some people looking shocked at his reference to cutting throats, before he lead the crowd in a chant of ‘Free Palestine’.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed on Thursday he had been arrested at an address in South East London and held on suspicion of encouraging murder and for an offence under the Public Order Act. 

Jones, who is an organiser for the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) union, has also been suspended by the Labour Party.

A Labour Party spokesperson said: ‘This behaviour is completely unacceptable and it will not be tolerated. The councillor has been suspended from the party.’

A TSSA spokesperson said: ‘TSSA remains steadfast in supporting communities that peacefully stand against fascist aggression. We unequivocally do not condone any threats or acts of violence, as these actions are contrary to our values.’

Protestors also gathered in Brentford, west London, to voice their support for migrant communities amid threats of an attack on an The Mille on the Great West Road.

MailOnline reporters saw shops and pubs had been closed ‘upon advice’ on the evening.

Counter-protestors arrived early for the event from 8pm and were met with honks of support from cars passing on the busy road.

Chants of ‘We are the people. We won’t be silenced. Stop the Nazis, now, now, now’ and ‘Whose streets? Our streets?’ rang out from the crowd.

A small presence of police officers also attended the event, watching on from positions around the demonstration.

At one point, hecklers threw an open bottle of water from a car at counter protesters, shouting ‘f*** you!’ from a window.

One of the protestors told reporters he believed they had misidentified them as the other side.

A small presence of onlookers gathered on the other side of the road, prompting one counter-protester to appear to stick his middle finger up at the group.

But officers told MailOnline it had been ‘largely peaceful’.
