A teenage rioter has pleaded guilty to stealing from a ransacked shop during the summer riots in Wolverhampton.

The 16-year-old, from Fordhouses, admitting burglary in the Sunitek.com computer store in Broad Street on August 9.

He also took stock of an unknown value.  The Express & Star has so far been banned from naming the teenager by a district judge. The yob initially denied the charge at Wolverhampton Youth Court yesterday but changed his plea after reviewing CCTV footage with his lawyer.

At the time of the burglary at Sunitek.com, which suffered around £50,000 worth of damage and lost stock , he was also subject to a youth rehabilitation order for a separate crime.

The court heard that by taking part in the riots, he had breached a conditional discharge handed to him for obstructing a police officer.

District Judge Graeme Wilkinson ordered the teenager to be tagged pending sentencing, meaning he cannot leave his house between 8pm and 6am.

He also warned him his identity and address may be revealed at the next hearing.

The teenager will be sentenced on December 22.

The Crown Prosecution Service, Home Secretary Theresa May and Prime Minister David Cameron have all urged the courts to identify juveniles convicted of riot-related offences.

The summer saw masked riotors bring terror to the streets of towns and cities across the country including Wolverhampton, where there was looting of shops and attacks on police with bricks, sticks and fireworks.

Police carried out raids across hundreds of homes in the region in a bid to bring those responsible to justice.

David Cameron visited the city in August to survey the aftermath of the devastation wreaked by hundreds of young people in a two-houring wrecking spree on August 7.

Violence also erupted throughout Birmingham and Sandwell on August 8 and 9.
