A further three men and two youths have been sent to prison for their involvement in the riots in Brixton.

Dean Billam, 20, Aakeem Kelliot, 20, Faustin Mutombo, 18 and two 16-year-old youths were given prison sentences on Thursday for violent disorder and burglary on August 7.

"The behaviour you displayed represents a significant escalation in your offending and I can only hand down a custodial sentence.”

Two 16-year-old youths from Clapham were also given a four month detention training order and a 12 month order for joining in the attack and throwing a bicycle through the bookmakers window.

Kelliot, of Herod Road, Brixton, was sentenced to 14 months imprisonment for throwing a brick in the direction of a bus and an ambulance in Coldharbour Lane on the same evening.
