76 people sentenced so far following disorder outside Manvers hotel

Seventy-six individuals have been convicted and sentenced for their part in disorder which took place at a Manvers Hotel in August, and 164 suspects have been identified so far.

The Holiday Inn Express in Manvers, its occupants and staff were attacked when a demonstration degenerated into violence which saw more than 60 police officers hurt and the hotel so badly damaged it had to be taken out of use.

To date, South Yorkshire Police has identified 164 suspects. Of these, 76 individuals have been convicted and sentenced, while 14 cases remain under police bail as enquiries continue. Additionally, the force’s Major Crime Unit has identified 15 more suspects.

In support of a broader review, the force is actively assisting with the HMICFRS Rapid Review, commissioned by the Home Office, to assess the response to the disorder and determine areas for improvement.

In an effort to learn from the operation, the force has initiated a full debriefing process. This local debrief will analyse all aspects of the incident and will later contribute to a wider partnership debrief facilitated by the Local Resilience Forum.

It is urging the public to come forward with any information that could assist with the ongoing investigation as they work to bring those responsible for the violence to justice.
