Description:

When a mob of rioters came to Middlesbrough on Sunday, they left a trail of destruction with cars set alight, front doors kicked in and people left terrified in their own homes.

Cleveland Police called the violence "staggering", with 43 people arrested after an event that started at the town's cenotaph.

Disorder has erupted in various towns and cities in the UK since three young girls were killed in Southport, as false claims on social media said someone who had arrived in the UK illegally was to blame.
