  • UK Riots Update: 13-Year-Old Pleads Guilty of Threatening Violence; Man Admits Looting Lush

A man has admitted to violent disorder, burglary, and racially aggravated criminal damage. He was the one who stole products from the Lush cosmetics chain during the Hull riots.

On August 3, John Honey, 25, pleaded guilty to three counts of breaking and entering at the city's Lush, O2 store, and Shoezone. In addition, he entered a guilty plea to charges of criminal damage to a BMW and nine other cars on the basis of race. On Tuesday, Honey will receive her punishment later.

In a another instance, a 13-year-old girl entered a guilty plea to using or threatening to use criminal violence in response to a demonstration outside an Aldershot hotel.

The girl, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, acknowledged committing a crime that could make someone worry for their own safety.

The teenager sat with her parents at the short hearing at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday. Her sentencing will take place on 30 September at the same court.

The 13-year-old’s appearance comes just a day after two 12-year-old boys became the youngest to be convicted in relations to the riots after a series of court cases on Monday.
