34-year-old Convicted for Role in Southport Disorder

 Police can confirm that a man has been jailed for three years and three months for his role in violent disorder in Southport.

Rory Allington-Mott, 34, of High Street, in Newport, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court today, Friday 23 August, after pleading guilty to violent disorder.

Allington-Mott was involved in the appalling scenes in Southport on Tuesday 30 July. Officers were able to identify him after viewing footage which showed him throwing numerous objects at officers, including bricks.

Assistant Chief Constable Paul White said: “The footage is clearly shocking and shows the extreme violence that our officers faced in Southport.

“Many officers sustained serious injuries during these appalling scenes as various objects, including bricks, rained down on them from all angles.

“Allington-Mott clearly played a leading role in the violent disorder and it’s only right that he has now received one of the longest prison terms issued by the courts so far following the disorder in Merseyside.

“Although the disorder happened around three weeks ago, officers continue to make arrests. If you have any information about anyone who took part in the disorder in Southport or Liverpool, please come forward.”
