Humberside Police have reported additional arrests and are actively seeking information from the public regarding the disorder.

John Honey, a 25-year-old man, was a key figure in a major outbreak of looting and disorder in Hull city centre.

Honey pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including three burglaries and racially aggravated criminal damage, stemming from the riots that occurred on August 3.

Specifically, he admitted to burglarizing Lush, Shoezone, and O2 stores, along with causing damage to a BMW and nine other vehicles.

During the riots, Honey was involved in looting a cosmetics shop and two other stores, contributing to significant chaos in the city.

The unrest resulted in injuries to 11 police officers and extensive property damage, with reports of fear and chaos among residents and business owners.

Notably, the Lush store was ransacked, and damage at Shoezone was estimated at £320,000, with £40,000 worth of stock stolen from O2.

Prosecutor Jeremy Evans described the events as 'mass public disorder,' highlighting the violence and vandalism that took place.

The Crown Prosecution Service has charged 273 individuals related to the violent disorder, part of a larger surge of unrest across the UK.

As of now, the National Police Chiefs’ Council reported that 975 people had been arrested, with 546 charged in connection to the unrest.

The UK government has clarified that those involved in the riots will not be excluded from early prisoner release plans, allowing some inmates to serve only 40% of their sentences.

Concerns have been raised about convicted rioters potentially benefiting from reduced prison time under the early release scheme.
