Arrest warrant issued for who refused to come to court in Derry today on riotous behaviour and paint bomb offences

A judge at Derry Magistrates’ Court has issued an arrest warrant for a 12-year-old boy who failed to appear in court charged with rioting.

The youth was arrested by police following disorder near a European election polling station in the Galliagh area of Derry on May 23.

At the time police said officers were lured into the area over a hoax device and then came under attack by youths hurling petrol bombs.

The youth is also charged with possessing a paint bomb when arrested.

A defence solicitor told the court the schoolboy had refused to leave his care home for today’s court appearance.

Presiding District Judge Barney McElholm said he was issuing the arrest warrant despite being loathe to do so.

He added that he could not have the boy dictating when he would attend court.
