Boy, 12, pleads guilty to violent disorder after disturbances in Leeds suburb A 12-year-old boy has pleaded guilty to violent disorder after serious disturbances in a Leeds suburb over the summer.
On Tuesday a 12-year-old-boy appeared at Leeds Magistrates’ Court, where he pleaded guilty to violent disorder.
The disorder on July 18, which saw a patrol car overturned and a bus set alight, started after four children from a Roma family were taken into care.
The youth, who cannot be named due to his age, attended court with his parents and confirmed his name, date of birth and address before entering his guilty plea.
A court heard the boy was 11 years old when he took part in “what is known locally as the Harehills riot incident”.
