A primary school worker has been jailed for a year after pleading guilty to burglary during the Croydon riots.

Alexis Bailey, from Battersea, has already been dismissed from his job as a learning mentor at Stockwell Primary School, for stealing from Richer Sounds in South End.

The 31-year-old pleaded guilty to burglary with intent at Inner London Crown Court yesterday.

At the time of his sacking a spokesman for Lambeth Council said those involved with the "despicable acts of hooliganism and violence should face the full force of the law".

The spokesman added: "His behaviour was found to be incompatible with the standards we expect from people who hold a position of responsibility in our schools to work with children."
