As courts in London, Manchester and Birmingham work throughout the night to deal with hundreds of people arrested, the first two criminals convicted for the looting and violence sweeping England were jailed today.
No one has been granted bail so far, reflecting Prime Minister David Cameron’s commitment to bring the full force of law on rioters who have blighted his government’s image inside and outside Britain.
The Greater Manchester Police (GMP) today said two men were today imprisoned for public order offences.
“Two people already jailed for their part in last night’s disorder—swift justice. Two men sentenced to 10 weeks and 16 weeks. First of many. Extra courts sitting tonight to deal with prisoners. GMP will update with all the sentences as soon as they are given,” the police said.
