Two men admit violent disorder during summer riot

Major unrest broke out at the Holiday Inn Express in Manvers on 4 August

Two men have indicated they are guilty of offences related to major unrest outside a Rotherham hotel housing asylum seekers last summer.

Callum Bacon, 18, of Wilkinson Street, Barnsley, appeared at Sheffield Magistrates' Court on Monday charged with violent disorder and arson.

Scott Jones, 38, of James Street, Barnsley, appeared at the same court charged with violent disorder.

Both men were released on bail and are due to appear for sentencing at Sheffield Crown Court on 30 June.

During the anti-immigration demonstrations outside the Holiday Inn in Manvers last August, more than 60 police officers were injured after missiles were thrown by a crowd.

More than 90 people have so far been convicted for their part in the rioting.
