A teenager who handed out bricks to rioters and a man who shouted racial slurs at police have been locked up.

Riley Adey, 19, and Reece Greenwood, 31, were both sentenced for violent disorder that was carried out in Sunderland on 2 August.

Adey, of Washington, was filmed standing on top of an overturned car, which had been set alight, while he handed out weapons, and Greenwood, also of Washington, live-streamed himself "actively encouraging violent disorder" and "verbally abusing police".

During sentencing at Newcastle Crown Court, Judge Paul Sloan KC said both men had "brought shame upon the city of Sunderland".

The court heard Adey had thrown a scaffolding pole, a vape and bricks at police officers.

Defence counsel Andrew Findlay said Adey had drunk "six to seven pints" before the riots and had become "emotionally and psychologically swept along" by the events.

He added his client was "remorseful for what happened".

Adey was sentenced to two years in a young offenders' institution, having previously pleaded guilty at Teesside Magistrates' Court.

Greenwood was handed a 30-month sentence for his part in the riot.

He had been driven to the protest by his friend Josh Kellet, who was jailed last week for violent disorder.

The court heard how the father-to-be washed and put away his clothes so they could not be recovered by police.

Judge Sloan said Greenwood, who also filmed a mob vandalising a police vehicle and was seen shouting racist and Islamophobic slurs, was "revelling in the mayhem".

Shaun Routledge, defending, said his client was "completely and utterly ashamed of his behaviour".

The judge condemned the pair for taking part in "an orgy of mindless destruction, violence and disorder".

"Those participating in mass disorder must expect severe sentences intended not only to punish but to deter others in copying their example," he added.
