Here's a round up of some of the people to have appeared in court in connection with rioting in Darlington, Middlesbrough and Hartlepool.
Dozens of people have been arrested and charged with offences connected to the widespread disorder which erupted following the fatal stabbings of young girls in Southport last month.
Cleveland Police continue to make arrests, including an 11-year-old boy, following the violence in Middlesbrough on August 4.
Defendants have also appeared in court charged with offences following the violent disorder in Hartlepool on July 31 and in Darlington on August 5.
Police raids
On Wednesday dozens of officers took part in a series of raids across the Cleveland Police force area targeting suspects in the Middlesbrough rioting.
An 11-year-old was among the 14 people arrested as more than 50 officers targeted suspects identified following hours of CCTV footage scrutiny.
Senior officers described the disorder as the worst they had seen in 30-years’ experience as pensioners were forced to barricade themselves indoors and terrified families too scared to leave home.
Dozens of people were arrested in the immediate aftermath of the rioting in Middlesbrough but more suspects were rounded up as Operation Macadamia hit the roads.
Superintendent Marc Anderson described the rioting as the worst he had seen during his policing career.
He added: “What the community had to put up with that day was shocking.”
Eight arrest teams were given their own individual targets as morning raids were carried out across the Middlesbrough and Redcar area to round up those believed to have been responsible for the carnage.
The latest arrests came more than three weeks after the town centre went up in flames.
Detective Chief Inspector Sarah Robinson said: “We have been out arresting those believed to be involved in the disorder in Middlesbrough.
“The investigation continues we have got thousands of hours of CCTV footage to trawl through, so the very clear message is – if you were involved in the disorder, you will be identified, you will be arrested and you will be put before the court.”
Tuesday's court hearings
Another raft of people arrested in the wake of rioting in Middlesbrough have appeared in court charged with violent disorder and weapons offences.
Throughout the day about 20 defendants appeared in front of Judge Francis Laird KC to face charges relating to the widespread disorder on Sunday, August 4 at Teesside Crown Court.
The youngest defendant aged 16, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to violent order but denied a charge of possession of a bladed article was among those in court.
James Bullock and 28-year-old Darlington man Joseph Mackenzie were in the first group of defendants to come before the judge in Court 1.
Mackenzie, of Skeldale Grove, Darlington, and 20-year-old Bullock, of Berwick Hills Avenue, Middlesbrough, both pleaded not guilty to violent conduct.
They were both remanded in custody until September 26 when they will appear for a further case management hearing.
The Teesside teenager appeared in the next group of defendants alongside Paul Sizer, Arfan Magid and Ashley Ferguson.
Sizer, 40, of Bramcote Way, Thornaby, and 33-year-old Ferguson, of Somerset Street, Middlesbrough, both pleaded not guilty and were remanded in custody until September 26.
While 18-year-old Magid, of Byland Street, Middlesbrough, was not asked to enter a plea until he appears in court next month.
Three further defendants all appeared via a video link from a prison in Peterborough to face charges of violent disorder.
Jamie Govan, of Hartington Road, Stockton, pleaded guilty to violent disorder and was remanded in custody to be sentenced on October 2. The judge adjourned the case to allow time for a pre-sentence report to be completed after hearing that the 26-year-old was of previous good character.
Lewis Loughlin, 23, of Victoria Road, Middlesbrough, and 21-year-old Lennon Chisholm, of Berwick Hills Avenue, Middlesbrough, pleaded not guilty to the same charge. They will appear at the same court next month.
The next person to appear was 18-year-old Ethan Bowes, of Woodhouse Road, Guisborough, who pleaded not guilty to violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon. The court heard how he had a metal cannabis grinder inside a sock on him when he was arrested.
Mohammad Adam and Salim Khan were the final two defendants to appear during the morning session.
Adam, Acton Street, Middlesbrough, pleaded not guilty to possession of an offensive weapon, a scaffolding pole, on Waterloo Road, Middlesbrough. The 23-year-old was remanded in custody until September 26.
Khan, 23, of Newlands Road, pleaded not guilty to violent disorder and dangerous driving and was remanded in custody until the same date.
Regan Walker was the first defendant to appear in front of the judge during the afternoon session.
The 23-year-old, of Saltney Road, Norton, Stockton, pleaded not guilty to possession of an offensive weapon, a metal bar, when he was allegedly spotted holding it while on Park Road North, Middlesbrough.
He was remanded in custody until next month.
Jonathan Lodge and Akheel Khan were the next two defendants up in court.
Lodge, 36, of Coatham Road, Redcar, pleaded not guilty to violent disorder while 24-year-old Khan, of Wheatley Close, Middlesbrough, pleaded not guilty to the same charge. They were both remanded in custody until September 26.
The final person to be dealt with was 26-year-old Connor Stokes, of Mansfield Avenue, Thornaby, who pleaded not guilty to violent disorder. He was remanded in custody for a further four weeks.
Thursday's court hearings
More people accused of causing widespread disorder in Darlington, Middlesbrough and Hartlepool have been in court.
The three separate incidents of rioting occurred in the region following the fatal stabbing of young girls in Stockport late last month.
Teesside Crown Court has seen a steady flow of defendants appearing before Judge Francis Laird KC as Cleveland Police continue to make arrests.
The first up was Evan Wilkins-Doyle who admitted taking part in the violent disorder on Murray Street, Hartlepool, on July 31 when hundreds of people caused damage to homes and businesses.
The 19-year-old, of The Spinney, Hartlepool, was remanded in custody to allow time for a pre-sentence report to be completed before he is sentenced on October 17.
Judge Laird said: “You pleaded guilty to violent disorder, as I understand it, you state that your involvement was limited.
“Your barrister will put that in writing and serve it to the court and it will be considered. It seems likely that that will be accepted but I cannot give you a guarantee.”
The next case involved Adbul Rahman who was arrested following the disorder in Darlington on August 5.
The 47-year-old, of Pendower Street, Darlington, entered a not guilty plea and was remanded in custody until September 26 when he will make his next appearance in court.
The next defendant, Karl Croaker, pleaded not guilty to violent disorder but indicated he would plead guilty to a public order offence as a result of his behaviour in Middlesbrough on August 4.
The 31-year-old, of Longford Street, Middlesbrough, was remanded in custody until September 29 to allow the Crown Prosecution Service to decide whether to accept the plea or not.
Jake Wray was the next to appear before the judge when he pleaded guilty to committing violent disorder in Middlesbrough town centre on August 4.
The court heard how the 23-year-old, of Seaton Street, Middlesbrough, was serving a suspended sentence at the time of the offence.
At a previous hearing at Teesside Magistrates’ Court, the prosecution said he approached drivers at a junction, asked whether they were “white” or similarly, if they were “English” and the court was told “if they were, he seems to allow them to pass”.
Judge Laird remanded him in custody to allow time for a pre-sentence report to be updated before sentencing him on September 18.
