FULL TITLE: Olympic ambassador 'hurled bricks at police car' and led attack on Vodafone store during riots - and was shopped to police by her mum

An Olympics ambassador allegedly hurled bricks at a police car and led an attack on a mobile phone store during the riots.

Chelsea Ives, 18, was today revealed as a riot suspect - after being reported to police by her mother.

She was filmed by the BBC allegedly throwing bricks at a police car during violent disturbances in Enfield on Sunday night.

She was seen on the nightly news by her mother Adrienne, 47, who immediately called the police.

Westminster magistrates' court heard that police had to abandon their BMW in the 'frenzied' attack. Ives, described by her lawyer as a 'talented sportswoman', is alleged to have boasted later that she had had 'the best day ever', magistrates heard.

She denied two counts of burglary, violent disorder and attacking a police car. Ives was refused bail until August 17 when she will appear at Highbury Corner magistrates' court. Prosecutor Becky Owen said Ives had also led an attack on a Vodafone store.

'She was first to pick up masonry and hurl it at the window,' she said.

She said that Ives was also involved in a mob attack on Phones4U.

In 2009, Ives was invited into the House of Commons to celebrate the success of a football project run by Leyton Orient Community Sport Programme, She has met Boris Johnson and London Olympics chief Sebastian Coe.

Her mother told the Evening Standard that the decision to call the police about her daughter was 'gut wrenching'.

OK, but it would help if the reporter gave us the distance of her throw and her prior personal best so we can make our own judgment.

Now that’s a parent who cares about her child.

I would do the same thing if it were my Son or Daughter. (But I would have to beat my Husband to the phone first)

I despise overindulgent, protective “my baby would never do something like that” parents.

If she were wearing a wet tee shirt she would be even more not guilty.

I'm not sure that I would turn my kids in.

The punishment that I'd dish out would be a whole lot worse than the wink and a slap on the wrist the courts would come up with.

'Tis a moot point, anyway, because all of our kids were raised well enough so that they'd never do such a thing to start with! :-)

And that’s why she’s an Olympic ambassador.

My kids knew that my Husband and I would never bail them out. They knew we meant it.
