Man joined mob to force his way into city centre phone shop

A man joined a mob to force his way into a phone repair shop and cause damage. Curtis Wright was seen throwing missiles at police officers last year on Paradise Street in Liverpool city centre on Saturday, August 3, before going with others to a phone repair shop on Church Street and forcing entry to the premises. The 21-year-old, of Southbrook Road, Leyland, was jailed in relation to the violent disorder which broke out last year. He was jailed for 22 months for violent disorder and burglary other than a dwelling at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday, March 21. The total of people arrested by Merseyside Police has now reached 184, with 146 charged and 125 people sentenced to a combined 230 years and six months so far. Detective Inspector Paula Jones said: 'Wright joined a mob in Liverpool intent on causing damage and harm to officers, members of the public and businesses, just days after the tragic events in Southport.

Our officers and staff will continue to identify, pursue and bring before the courts those who brought such shame to the region.' Merseyside Police said anyone with information "should continue to come forward", through @MerpolCC, 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
