A man and two teenagers have been sentenced for their ‘thuggish’ and ‘violent’ actions’ in a large-scale disorder which took place on 4 August 2024 at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel in Manvers, Rotherham.

Nathan Annables’, of Manor Drive, Goldthorpe was charged with violent disorder. His charges included pushing a metal cart into police officers, throwing a large bin and stoking a fire at the side of the hotel.

After being contacted by police, Annables handed himself in. When questioned, the 25-year-old claimed that he could not remember what he was doing on the date in question.

He also refused to explain why a phone number, thought to be Annables’ personal mobile number, was cell-citing in the location of the hotel.

He pleaded guilty to violent disorder. Yesterday, he was jailed for three years at Sheffield Crown Court.

Also appearing in court on Wednesday was a 17-year-old boy, who can’t be named for legal reasons.

The teenager was also seen outside the hotel, he was part of a violent mob who were throwing missiles at officers and attempting to kick those in the police cordon.

The boy was given a 12-month referral order at Sheffield Youth Court after pleading guilty to violent disorder.

A 16-year-old boy, who appeared at Barnsley Youth Court on Tuesday, was also given a 10-month referral order for his role in the disorder.

He was seen throwing stones at police officers in front of the hotel. The boy’s mum handed him in to a police station after she recognised him from a media appeal.
