A man who admitted violent disorder during the Hull riots has received a six-year sentence. Shops were looted, fires started, cars damaged and police officers attacked following demonstrations involving anti-immigration protesters on 3 August 2024. Billy Bragger, 25, also previously pleaded guilty to burglary, racially aggravated criminal damage and arson. Bragger was sentenced to a Section 45A hospital order under the Mental Health Act at Hull Crown Court on Monday, with the possibility of being transferred to prison if he was deemed well enough. The violence in Hull erupted as part of a wave of disorder that spread across parts of the UK following the fatal stabbings of three girls in Southport on 29 July. About £400,000 of damage was caused when the Shoezone, O2 and Lush shops on Jameson Street were looted, with missiles hurled at a line of police officers guarding a hotel housing asylum seekers.
