Shop A Rioter: Pics Of Most Wanted Released

Hundreds of photos have been posted online of the most wanted suspects from the widespread disorder unleashed across London last August.

The Metropolitan Police issued the latest images on Flickr.com as the Winter Withern Campaign , in an attempt to catch offenders in the run up to Christmas.

"Officers are continuing to diligently seek out those involved and are appealing for the public's help in pursuing those who sought to cause violence and damage," a police statement said.

"The release of the further 213 images four months on from the disorder is testament to the tireless work from the investigation team which has already looked through 200,000 hours of CCTV footage to obtain identifiable images that can be used to make a positive identification."

Although 3,269 arrests for a variety of offences and 2,046 people have been charged or summonsed, police are determined to pursue the remaining suspects.

During the summer unrest 22 of London's boroughs saw disorder and more than 3,800 crimes reported to police. The root cause of the trouble is still contested .

Commander Steve Rodhouse, in charge of Operation Withern , said: "I would like to thank the public for continuing to assist us with this investigation, without their help positive identifications on several images would not have been made.

"Four months on from the disorder my team of officers remain absolutely committed to identifying, arresting and charging those involved in the criminality that took place.

"The investigation is a huge challenge and one that will continue for some time to come but I want to reassure London's communities that we are determined to bring those who committed these outrageous crimes to justice and more arrests will follow.

The new batch of photos released by police include CCTV images from inside looted shops and of unrest on public streets.

"I urge anyone with any information to come forward," Cmdr Rodhouse added.
