A mother and daughter who took part in disorder that broke out in Middlesbrough while they were walking the family dog have been jailed.
Amanda Walton, 51, was caught on CCTV throwing a missile, damaging a car wing mirror and rummaging through a bin, Teesside Crown Court heard.
Megan Davison, 24, was seen jumping up and down on a car’s roof, assisting in smashing windows, sticking a finger up at a police officer and walking away from a shop while “concealing items”, said Rachel Masters, prosecuting.
Walton brought her chow chow to the march on 4 August, the court heard, and video showed both women holding the animal’s lead at times.
The pair admitted violent disorder at a previous hearing and Walton was jailed for 22 months and Davison 20 months by Judge Francis Laird KC.
Davison’s partner, Jake Wray, is awaiting sentence after admitting the same offence after he stopped cars at a junction to ask drivers if they were “white” or “English”. He will be sentenced next week.
![Acting Sergeant Chris Hook, from City of London Police, said the speed and weight of illegally modified e-bikes "massively" heightens the danger for pedestrians involved in collisions. He said: "The heaviest one I've seen was in excess of 50kg. That bike [could reach over] 60mph. "If that impacts with somebody, it's likely to cause either serious injury or, God forbid, death." The acting sergeant noted a "broad spectrum" of people ride illegally modified e-bikes, such as commuters, food delivery workers and criminals snatching phones. In one operation outside London's Liverpool Street railway station this month, police caught a rider using an illegal e-bike featuring a motor with a maximum power output of 500 watts, which is twice the legal limit. The bike also had severely worn out tyres and a bundle of loose electric wires stored in a soaking wet pouch. An officer at the scene described the bike as "a death trap", adding: "This could easily kill him or someone else."](https://british2day.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/skynews-sergeant-chris-hook_6694772-300x169.jpg "E-bike seizures surge as police take 'death traps' off the streets 12")
