A number of businesses on County Road were targeted in a riot on Saturday
Terrifying
footage shows how a masked gang ripped the shutters from a County Road store before smashing through its door to ransack it. Rioters descended on Walton on Saturday , following violent disorder in Liverpool city centre in the afternoon. Chaos, violence and destruction followed for hours as looters targeted shops, bins were used to start fires and the Spellow Library & Community Hub was set alight. The chaos started when people began to assemble near County Road Mosque at around 8.
footage shared with the ECHO by the store shows the moment that the masked gang descended on the business and began forcing their way in. The shutter was then thrown across the pavement and the gang began to try and force their way in. Some kicked the doors, while one picked up an electric scooter and attempted to use it as a battering ram. After smashing their way into the shop, they began to loot it and many left with their hands full of goods.
, they broke in, took cash, vapes, cigarettes, many things. They broke the windows to get in - people kept coming in. 'I then went there and stayed in the shop all night, I've been cleaning and sweeping all night. I'm feeling terrible - I don't know how to explain it. 'When I got to the shop, people were coming up to me and laughing in my face, laughing that stock had been taken. They were all laughing, they all had big bags and ran away from the shop with them full.
