A man has been jailed for two years after being part of a group that banged on the doors of a migrant hotel and shouted abuse at those inside during a protest.

Cameron Bowling, 41, of Broadhurst, Farnborough, gathered outside Potters International Hotel along with approximately 200 people on Wednesday, July 31.

Although the majority protested in a peaceful manner, Bowling’s behaviour turned aggressive.

Some of the wider group were seen throwing objects at the hotel before banging on the doors and others acted in a threatening way towards those staying inside the hotel.

Winchester Crown Court heard that Bowling shouted and swore at those inside, before telling them they were “not welcome”.

He was also part of the group that banged on the doors.

Bowling was arrested and charged with violent disorder, to which he pleaded guilty and was jailed for two years at Winchester Crown Court on September 23.

It comes after three men were jailed for being part of the group that was involved in the violent disorder at the same protest.

A 13-year-old girl from Aldershot, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was also charged with violent disorder and admitted the charge at Basingstoke Magistrates Court on 13 August.

She was bailed and is due to be sentenced at the same court on 30 September.

Assistant Chief Constable Paul Bartolomeo said: "While the majority of people who attended this protest in Aldershot were respectful, Bowling chose to act in an aggressive manner.

"His behaviour that day caused fear of violence to those inside the hotel and our officers.

"This result highlights that this sort of behaviour will not be tolerated and it is a clear message that these actions have consequences.

"This should serve as a warning to anyone else considering trying to bring mindless violence to our streets and that the minority who seek to cause disorder will face the full force of the law."
