Looters and rioters arrested in Haringey

The number of arrests following the riots is phenomenal, latest count I got from the police was 1103 in London. There's been plenty of news of charges and sentences across all the media, but here are a couple of bits of information from Haringey, as an example:

Man charged with handling stolen goods after £40k recovered
An estimated £40,000 worth of electrical property was recovered by police in Tottenham following a call from a member of public. A 25 year-old man has been charged with handling stolen goods

Man arrested for violent disorder and theft
A 19 year-old man has been arrested in Haringey for violent disorder and theft. He is believed to have posted a picture on Twitter posing with stolen goods.

Man arrested in connection with violent disorder
A 22 year-old man has been arrested in Haringey on suspicion of violent disorder having seen his image in a national newspaper and handed himself in at Hornsey police station.

Man arrested on suspicion of burglary
A 21 year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of a burglary that took place at a store in Wood Green after being recognised by a CCTV operator from images released by police.

Reminder too that you can go to www.met.police.uk/disordersuspects to see if you can help identify any other suspects.

I will blog at some point over the next week about the sentences being handed out, people being evicted and calls for housing benefit to be withdrawn. But following up my post yesterday about all the riot rumours being spread around, I noticed today the BBC have also covered this problem.
