Met Police Release 35 Faces Wanted Over London Protest Violence
The Met has blasted out 35 images of suspects tied to recent violent clashes in central London demonstrations.
Crackdown After Chaos at June Protests
Commander Bas Javid laid it bare: “Most people came to protest peacefully, but a nasty minority showed up just to attack police or spark violence.”
Over the last month, London saw multiple demonstrations. The Met has been on high alert, investigating serious offences from these events.
So far, nearly 230 arrests have been made, with 128 from the major protests on June 13 alone.
How the Met Is Tracking Down Troublemakers

- Videos going viral on social media analysed
Authorities are combing through every angle to pinpoint those who wreaked havoc between June 3 and June 13.
More images could be released soon as the probe continues.
