Jake Wray has today been sentenced after taking part in violent disorder in Middlesbrough.
Wray, 23, of Seaton Street in Middlesbrough, was seen on camera amongst the crowd around the Linthorpe Road area where he sat in the road to disrupt traffic and continually moved towards the police line, encouraging others to do so.
He set alight to a Biffa bin which was pushed into the police line and then went about stealing a wheelie bin from outside a residents’ property, setting it alight and then pushing that bin into the police line also.
Wray also stopped drivers and questioned their ethnicity as they passed the large crowds.
He has now been sentenced to three years and two months in prison.
