Eighteen people involved in a riot that turned a housing estate in Swansea into a “war zone”, leaving families terrorised, police officers injured and a community scarred have been jailed for a combined total of more than 80 years.
Sentencing 17 men and one woman who took part in the disturbance in May 2021, the judge, Paul Thomas KC, said ringleaders had planned to “light up” the Mayhill estate for “mass entertainment” rather than because of discontent.
