Police in Manchester have been inundated with tip-offs from the public in response to their "Shop A Looter" campaign, the force has said.
Pictures of suspected rioters are being displayed on advertising vans being driven around Manchester and Salford.
More than a 100 premises were damaged and looted earlier this week.
Greater Manchester Police said on Saturday there had been 208 arrests so far in connection with the rioting and 134 people had been charged.
A youth handed himself in after his friend saw his picture on the advertising vans and called him to say his image was all over Manchester, police said.
Also among the new arrests are a 13-year-old girl who has been charged with burglary and a 14-year-old boy who was detained by Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan, who also recovered stolen trainers with the tags still on.
The boy, who cannot be named, remains in custody on suspicion of burglary following a theft at the Foot Locker store in Manchester city centre.
