Two men jailed for violent disorder at anti-migrant protests outside asylum seeker hotel
The men were among 11 convicted, and police said the disorder left the town scared, disrupted daily life and forced businesses to close early.
- On Wednesday, Jonathan Glover and Charlie Land were sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court for violent disorder outside the Bell Hotel, receiving 30 months and 32 months respectively.
- The convictions stem from protests on July 17, 2025, in Epping outside the Bell Hotel, which was housing asylum seekers at the time.
- Drone and bodyworn footage showed Glover shouting at officers and impeding police carriers, while Land repeatedly damaged police vehicles over the course of the evening.
- The convictions represent part of a broader crackdown; 11 men have been convicted total, with 10 already sentenced to a combined total exceeding 17 years in prison.
- Chief Inspector Terry Fisher, Epping Forest and Brentwood district commander, said the sentences remind the community that "behaviour is and was entirely unacceptable," noting businesses felt disrupted.
