Following the disorder experienced on Sunday August 4 at the Holiday Inn Express at Manvers, Wath, dozens have now been convicted and some jailed.
More than 60 officers were injured as a result of the disorder, which has so far seen 28 people put behind bars for a combined total of 71 years.
The senior investigating officer into the disorder, which broke out as a result of the stabbing of three girls in Southport and took place outside a Holiday Inn Express in Manvers, near Rotherham, on August 4, has also thanked the community for its support.
Described as ‘mass violent disorder’ by South Yorkshire Police, officers were subjected to hours of abuse as well as having concrete blocks, chairs, bricks and glass bottles hurled at them.
