Bradley Douglas Sentenced for Ballymena Riots | Limerick News

Twenty-eight-year-old Bradley Douglas has been sentenced to five years for his role in the violent Ballymena riots of June 2025, where he was caught throwing rocks and metal poles at police — one of the first to attack officers. He’ll serve 30 months in jail and 30 on license, convicted of rioting and burglary with intent to cause damage. The unrest spread across the region, destroying homes, cars, and businesses while terrorizing residents. Police were targeted with petrol bombs and fireworks, and footage captured Douglas’ aggression. His arrest followed a major police investigation that led to multiple convictions. Though the riots began over an alleged sexual assault case — later dropped due to new evidence — Douglas’ actions made him a central figure in the chaos.
