Three teens locked up for Swansea riots violence
One was sentenced to a two-year detention and training order, another was given 14 months and the third was given an eight-month order.
Two of the teenagers were involved in the "utterly dreadful episode involving the Romain family", Judge Thomas said, describing footage of the incident, where Adam Romain's call to police is heard as "stomach-churning".He described how all three defendants were involved in attacks on the police, causing them to retreat and leave the "petrified residents of Mayhill unprotected".
In imposing custodial sentences, Judge Thomas told the teenagers: "I would be failing in my public duty to the people of Swansea if you did not go immediately into custody." Another five youth defendants have already been sentenced in Youth or Crown courts, and five given youth cautions.
