DYLAN Carey, 26, of Castle Hill Road, in Hindley, Greater Manchester has become the 8th person to be jailed following disorder in Merseyside after he was sentenced today to 1 year and 6 months in prison.
He appeared at Liverpool Crown Court, on:- Monday, 12 August 2024, after pleading guilty to violent disorder.
The Court heard that on:- Tuesday, 30 July 2024, Carey traveled to Southport and was identified on bodycam footage and social media clips hurling objects at Officers and also kicking a stationary Police Carrier during the appalling scenes from that evening.
A specialist team from Merseyside Police continues to review hundreds of hours of footage taken from the disorder in Southport and Liverpool and Carey was arrested at his home, on:- Monday, 5 August 2024.
Assistant Chief Constable Paul White said:- "The arrests, charges, and sentencing of those involved in Merseyside disorder continues this week and Carey is the latest person to find himself behind bars for his appalling actions. Carey chose to travel from his home in Manchester to Southport and took part in violent scenes in a Town that was still reeling from the horrific murders the previous day. The actions of those who took part in the disorder not only seriously injured Officers, but also caused harm and fear in an already devastated community. The sentencing results we have seen so far for disorder shows how seriously the Courts take this matter. Carey now finds himself at the beginning of an 18 month jail term. If you are thinking of taking part in any planned disorder, ask yourself, is it worth it?"
