British Police try to identify suspects from recent public unrest

London, April 3, IRNA – The Metropolitan Police have released pictures of 18 people involved in unrest in central London on March 26.

Police have now urged anyone who knows the suspects to get in touch.

Police have already charged 149 people over violence which broke out during and after a peaceful anti-spending cuts protest organized by the Trade Union’s Congress (TUC).

According to Sky News, detectives investigating violence in central London following a massive anti-cuts protest march have released pictures of 18 people they want to identify.

Officers have sifted through CCTV and images recorded during attacks launched on police and property in London's busiest shopping district.

Detective Chief Superintendent Matthew Horne said: 'We are working tirelessly to identify those responsible for the appalling acts of criminal behavior on the day of the TUC march.

'The vast majority of people, who came to London that day, did so peacefully, but a significant minority didn't - they came to cause violence and damage.

'With the help of the public they will be called to account for their actions on that day. I would urge anyone who recognises these individuals to contact my team,' he added.

According to police, tens of people were injured during the unrest. A number of police officers were also injured during the attacks - 11 needing hospital treatment, Horne added./end
