Harehills disorder: 20-year-old becomes 32nd person sentenced over violence that broke out in north Leeds
A Leeds man has become the 32nd person to be convicted for his role in violent disorder in Harehills last year.
Ady Barbu, aged 20, of Bellbrooke Avenue, was jailed at Leeds Crown Court yesterday after being found guilty of violent disorder in Harehills in 2024.
The 20-year-old was jailed for 14 months for the offence, which took place during the evening of 18 July.
Officers from the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team have made 87 arrests with 43 people charged so far.
A spokesperson said: “The team has also launched appeals over the summer to identify people officers want to speak with in connection with the offending, resulting in more suspects being identified.
“Meanwhile, substantial work has also been carried out in Harehills with partners since last July to help communities recover from the disorder.
“This has complemented the extensive programme of initiatives already underway through the Clear Hold Build programme, named CommUnity Harehills, which has brought sustained reductions in crime.”
