Four Men Jailed for Bus Arson in Leeds
Four men have been sentenced for their roles in a violent disorder in Harehills, Leeds, which erupted following the removal of four children from a Roma family by social services on July 18. The Leeds Crown Court imposed sentences totaling over 20 years, with Iustin Dobre and Mark Mitchell each receiving six years, Milan Zamostny five years and four months, and Celan Palaghia three years. The chaos included the arson of a double-decker bus, which caused damage estimated at £500,000, and led to the bus driver suffering mental health issues. The police were overwhelmed by a mob of 300 to 400 individuals, leading to injuries and significant damage, including the overturning of a police car. Prosecutors highlighted that the disorder exemplified a complete breakdown of law and order, fueled by false rumors about the treatment of the children. The incidents resulted in serious repercussions for the community and the defendants, who appeared via video link during sentencing.
