A 13-year-old girl has pleaded guilty to violent disorder following a protest outside a hotel housing asylum seekers in Aldershot.

The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted the offence that would cause a person to fear for his or her personal safety when she was with three or more other people on July 31 outside Potter's International Hotel.

The teenager was sat with her parents at the short hearing at Basingstoke Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, August 13.

District Judge Tim Pattinson ordered for a pre-sentence report to be made and adjourned for the youngster's sentencing to take place on September 30 at the same court.

A Hampshire Constabulary spokesperson said on Monday that a 13-year-old from Aldershot had been charged with violent disorder after reports of disorder at a protest outside Potters International Hotel on July 31.

Thomas Power, a senior crown prosecutor with CPS Wessex spoke about the conviction. He said: "This alarming incident will have caused genuine fear amongst people who were being targeted by these thugs – and it is particularly distressing to learn that such a young girl participated in this violent disorder.

"Large-scale public unrest is never acceptable and the Crown Prosecution Service will not hesitate to respond swiftly and robustly to uphold law and order.

“We will continue working with our partners in policing and the wider criminal justice system to make sure those who bring violence and panic to our communities face the consequences of their actions."
