UK-Wide Bar and Hotel Ban for Teens in Bournemouth Lobby Rampage

The court used a sweeping exclusion order to curb disorder without sending the pair to prison.

Overview

  • District Judge Orla Austin at Poole Magistrates' Court banned Kera McKeown and Larisa Sumovskaja from all pubs, bars, nightclubs and hotels across the UK for six months.
  • The judge also imposed 12-week prison terms suspended for 12 months and ordered each to pay £350 in compensation.
  • The rampage at Bournemouth's Trouville Hotel in April 2025 was caught on CCTV as McKeown spat at a receptionist, hurled vases and a phone, and threw a fire extinguisher.
  • Prosecutors said the hotel suffered reputational harm with owners estimating about £4,000 in costs, refunds to guests, and staff missing work.
  • Sumovskaja must complete 15 rehabilitation days and 12 mental health sessions, and the judge warned both women they had narrowly avoided jail.
