Nearly £2 million has been claimed under the Riot Compensation Act after riots erupted following the tragic deaths of three girls in Southport. The violence, sparked by misinformation surrounding the suspect’s immigration status, led to widespread vandalism across England. With 88 claims recorded, local police commissioners are assessing the damages, which are expected to rise as insurance coverage remains inadequate for many impacted. Authorities urge affected individuals to apply for compensation amidst rising concerns over community safety and budget pressures for policing.
