Gunshots rang out as a land dispute erupted into “wild, lawless mayhem” involving 20 masked men armed with makeshift weapons and a yellow tipper truck which was deployed to ram into vehicles.
Today at Liverpool Crown Court three men faced justice for their roles in the “terrifying spectacle”.
Reuben Price Sr, 49, of Regent Street, Newton-le-Willows, and his sons Reuben Price Jr, 27, of Southworth Road, Newton le Willows, and James Price, 24, of Baguley Avenue, Widnes, had previously all pleaded guilty on December 6 to one count of violent disorder in connection with the incident at the Pony Paddocks on Factory Lane in Widnes on August 3, 2020.
