Riots broke out in Southport, city centre and Walton
Several people have been charged following violent scenes of disorder which broke out across the region. The first incident happened on Tuesday, July 30 on St Lukes's Road in Southport during a protest. Police vans were set alight and officers attacked. A large group of people, who police said are believed to be supporters of the English Defence League, began to throw items towards a local mosque. Cars were also set on fire and bricks were thrown at police.
Scenes later spilled onto County Road in Walton , with rioters causing major damage in what police described as 'serious violent disorder'. Chaos, violence and destruction followed as looters targeted businesses, 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 8.30pm. Far-right social media channels had called for people to gather there during the evening.
