A 19-year-old man has been sentenced to 16 months in a young offender institution for his involvement in rioting in Hull last month.

Jordan Shaw, of Ilthorpe in the Orchard Park area of Hull, had previously admitted charges of violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker.

During the incident on Saturday 3 August, several police officers were attacked with missiles, a hotel on Ferensway was targeted and several cars were severely damaged.

Dozens of people have been arrested and jail sentences have already been handed out in a number of cases.

About £400,000 worth of damage was caused when the Shoezone, O2 and Lush shops on Jameson Street were looted.

A clean-up operation, carried out by Hull City Council, cost £17,600 to repair and replace paving in the city.
