 Riots and looting in Manchester
An exclusive video of the civil unrest and looting in Manchester city centre on Tuesday 9 August 2011. This followed riots in London during the previous days.
Having smashed up shops in the Arndale Centre and set fire to one on Market Street, the mob turned its attention to Piccadilly Plaza. The doors of The Spar, Quality Save, Ladbrokes, Marks and Spencer and the clothing store Cow were broken down and goods looted.
On Portland Street, the gang got into Dawsons Music through a broken window, trashed a grand piano and made off with keyboards, guitars, amps and a saxophone. The till was grabbed from a newsagent on the other side of the gardens.
As the police dealt with one area, the mob ran to another and in some cases had ten minutes or so to carry out looting before the police caught up.
Duration: 10 mins.
