"Don't get away with it"
England: Child (11) arrested after riots
Following the right-wing extremist and anti-Muslim riots in Great Britain, the police have also arrested an eleven-year-old child. The authorities did not provide any further details on gender or specific charges on Wednesday.
It is believed to be the youngest person suspected of involvement in the riots, according to Sky News. Until now, two twelve-year-olds were considered the youngest suspects, and the sentence against one of them is due to be announced next week.
"You will not get away with it"
Police said they had arrested 14 more people aged between 11 and 43 for rioting in the north-east English town of Middlesbrough on August 4. "The message is: 'You will not get away with this'," said Detective Chief Inspector Sarah Robinson. "We can identify you and we will arrest you, you will be detained and brought before the courts."
1000 arrests already
Across the country, police have arrested more than 1,000 people, hundreds have been charged and many have been sentenced to prison. The riots were preceded by a fatal knife attack in the town of Southport, in which three girls were stabbed to death and several children and two adults were injured.
Fake news was spread on social media that the perpetrator was a Muslim migrant. The suspect is an 18-year-old who was born in the UK and whose parents are from Rwanda.
