A GIRL of 13 and a man who looted a Lush shop were among rioters brought before the courts yesterday.

The teenager sat with her mum and dad as she pleaded guilty to threatening unlawful violence.

She was seen punching and kicking the entrance of a hotel housing. asylum seekers in Aldershot, Hants, on July 31, Basingstoke magistrates' court heard. She was bailed until sentencing on September 30.

A man who admitted stealing from several shops, including bath-bomb chain Lush, an O2 store and a branch of Shoezone in Hull on August 3, was told his sentencing would be delayed too, for reports to be made.
