Two men have been sentenced for their part in disorder in London two weeks ago.

Ryan Atkin, 41, and Callum Flynee, 29, were both arrested and charged for their roles in protests on July 31.

Atkin, of Jarvis Brook, Tunbridge Wells, was slapped with a 12-month community order after 38 people were charged for their behaviour that night.

He was charged with a public order offence and obstructing an officer and later pleaded guilty when appearing at Brighton Magistrates’ Court on Friday.

Atkin was also told to do 60 hours of unpaid work and was ordered to pay costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £114.

Flynn, of Belgravia Gardens, Bromley, was charged with violent disorder and appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday where he pleaded guilty.

He was remanded in custody to appear at Inner London Crown Court on Tuesday, August 27.

Commander Lou Puddefoot said: “The officers on duty in Whitehall that evening were operating in really challenging circumstances and faced unacceptable aggression and abuse.

“As is often the case with large scale public order incidents such as this, so much of the work takes place in the days and weeks that follow.

“I want to thank the officers who have spent the past two weeks reviewing many hours of CCTV, phone and bodycam footage to build the cases that are being put before the courts.

“While we welcome the restoration of calm in London and across the country, we are not being complacent. We continue to stand ready to respond to any outbreak of disorder and to deal decisively with any offences.”

A 14-year-old boy who was also charged with a public order offence will appear at Sevenoaks Magistrates’ Court on Friday, August 23.
