CCTV footage captured the moment a mother and daughter smashed up a car while out on a dog walk during the riots in Middlesbrough.

Amanda Walton, 51, was caught on CCTV throwing a missile, damaging a car wing mirror and rummaging through a bin during the affray last month.

Walton’s daughter Megan Davison, 24, was also captured jumping up and down on a car roof, smashing windows and sticking her finger up at a police officer.

The pair admitted violent disorder and were jailed for more than three years in total at Teesside Crown Court on Monday (23 September).
