He will be sentenced later this year after pleading guilty to theft from a person and violent disorder
A 15-year-old boy has admitted stealing a copper’s hat worth £30 during large-scale disorder in Bolton town centre.
Disorder hit towns and cities across the country, including in Greater Manchester, followed the fatal stabbings of three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance club in Southport last month. Incorrect rumours – that the suspect in the stabbings was an asylum seeker who arrived in the UK on a small boat – spread on social media and appears to have fuelled the trouble.
In Bolton, demonstrators and counter-protesters clashed outside the town hall as missiles were thrown at police. Chief Constable Stephen Watson previously said the 'orchestrated criminality' had nothing to do with lawful protest. He also pleaded guilty to theft from a person, the particulars of which read: ‘On August 4 2024 at Bolton in the county of Greater Manchester stole a police hat, to the value of £30, belonging to Greater Manchester Police.’
