Anarchy: Loot, Vandalism Spreads to Manchester, Birmingham, Uneasy Quiet In London

Fresh violence flared around the United Kingdom as parts of the West Midlands and Manchester came under siege from a series of copy-cat riots overnight.

In shocking scenes, children as young as nine were seen taking part in the large-scale looting of shops and businesses in Manchester, The Daily Mail reported.

The disorder came as 16,000 police officers have been deployed on London's streets in a bid to contain a fourth night of violence which spiralled out of control across dozens of London suburbs yesterday.

Disorder and looting has rocked parts of Manchester particularly, although there has also been violence in Wolverhampton, West Bromwich, Nottingham, Leicester and Liverpool - although police appear to be containing the unrest.

But in what was by far the most serious incident of the night three men died in Birmingham after they were hit by a car.
