Four men convicted over their roles in disorder

L-R: Sameer Ali, Jordan Parlour, Adnan Ghafoor and Jordan Plain will all be sentenced on Friday

Four men have become the first to be convicted in West Yorkshire for their roles in the recent violent disorder.

The men, all from Leeds, will appear before Leeds Crown Court for sentencing on Friday.

Their offences include affray, racially aggravated harassment and intent to stir racial hatred.

West Yorkshire Police did not confirm which demonstrations they had been involved in, but said they will "leave no stone unturned to bring those involved in offences related to disorder to justice".

'Full force of law'

"Our warning to anyone thinking of getting involved in this type of criminality is clear - if you cause or incite violence, or commit related offending, you will face the full force of the law," the force added in a statement.

Sameer Ali, 21, of West Park Drive, Roundhay, who has been remanded in custody ahead of his sentencing, was convicted of affray.

Adnan Ghafoor, 31, of Spen Bank, West Park, was also convicted of affray and returned to custody.

Jordan Plain, 30, of Broadway, Horsforth, was convicted of racially aggravated intentional harassment and remanded in custody until Friday.

And Jordan Parlour, 28, of Brooklands Close, Seacroft, has been convicted of publishing written material intended to stir racial hatred.

Earlier this week, he pleaded guilty to using threatening, abusive or insulting words in Facebook posts while violent disorder was taking place nationally.

Meanwhile, a 16-year-old boy from the city will appear before Leeds Crown Court for sentencing on 4 September.

He was convicted of using threatening, abusive, or insulting words or behaviour with intent which is likely to stir racial hatred, but cannot be named because he is under the age of 18.

West Yorkshire Police have also charged Harvey Gardner, 20, of Kirkburton, with encouraging or assisting in violent disorder in relation to social media posts made about unrest in Huddersfield.

He has also been remanded in custody until a hearing at Leeds Crown Court on 28 August.

Three more men are due to appear before magistrates in the city on 19 August. Kaden Smith, 19, from Manchester has been charged with assaulting an emergency worker.

Joe Levitt, 30, of Kingsway, Bradford, was charged with failing to comply with a police dispersal order and Anthony Levitt, 67, of Naburn Court, Whinmoor, Leeds, has been charged with being drunk and disorderly in a public place.
