DETECTIVES from Lewisham are continuing to hunt down and prosecute those who took part in last summer's disorder.

Two men have been jailed after pleading guilty to burgling the JD Sports shop in Catford during the riots last August.

David Ulysees, aged 45, of Sedgehill Road, Catford was sentenced at Inner London Crown Court on March 13 to 20 months imprisonment.

Christopher Ohene, of Eastern Road, New Cross, was sentenced at the same court on March 12. The 24-year-old was jailed for 16 months.

Detective Constable Kev Davies from Lewisham police’s Operation Withern team said:"The prosecution of Ulysses and Ohene shows we are still relentlessly pursuing offenders seven months on from the widespread disorder.

“The length of the custodial sentences also shows that the courts are supporting this police action. We continue to arrest and charge people in relation to the disturbances and criminal unrest that occurred.”
