Rioter 'stormed The Ledbury and stole diners' jewellery' Prosecutor Ben Kelleher said a moped driver was pulled from his bike which was then set alight and two buses were stopped so looters could rob passengers. Opening the case, he told jurors: "In August of last year you will no doubt recall there were a series of incidents of disorder in London. It started on a weekend on Saturday 6 th of August and began to spread around the country. We are dealing in this case with events which happened on the night of August 8 th , in particular events that happened around the Queensway and Notting Hill area. What you are going to hear in this case is that from about 8pm onwards, building up by 10pm, there was a gathering of young men in that area who covered themselves up with hoods and masks, some of them armed with debris they had picked up. In what can only be described as a campaign of disorder they damaged property, looted shops and in some cases robbed individuals of their personal property. Mr Kelleher said things got 'extreme' by 10.30pm as the group edged towards the Notting Hill area. They knocked a moped over, throwing the driver to the floor and set it alight, two buses were stopped and passengers forced off as the group searched for property. Attacks were then carried out on a restaurant called Bumpkin being smashed open and property taken. An off-licence called Supersave was attacked and the owner physically attacked and beaten. Two individuals, one of which the prosecution say was Mr Abdul-Waga attacked a taxi driver and tried to take his property and succeeded in taking his mobile phone. CCTV footage played to the court showed looters dropping off some of their swag at a nearby hostel before going back out to cause more havoc. It was then they turned their attentions to the packed Ledbury restaurant, which was voted the 34 th best in the world last year and is the only UK establishment to be awarded two Michelin stars. Mr Kelleher said: "At that point those inside the restaurant saw the group and bolted the door but they smashed their way in and robbed customers as they sat of phones and jewellery." Abdul-Waga, of Paddington, west London, denies two counts of robbery including robbing staff and customers at the Ledbury, one of violent disorder and conspiracy to commit burglary. His three co-defendants Nasir Muhsen, 18, of Willesden Green, north west London, Dean Burke, 19, of Paddington, west London, and Caleb Williams, 22, of not fixed address, are not charged with robbing the Ledbury but face charges of conspiracy to commit violent disorder and burglary, which they deny. Burke and Muhsen deny robbing shop owner Mr Haroon while Williams denies burgling an Office shoe shop. The trial, which is expected to last five weeks, continues.
