The Met asks for help to identify five people following offences at recent protests.
Officers have released images of five people they would like to speak to about their actions at the pro-Palestine marches in central London on Saturday, 25 and Sunday, 26 November.
The people are suspected of a range of offences, including using discriminatory language and hate crimes. All are believed to have held placards which displayed offensive and discriminatory language, an offence under the Public Order Act.
Commander Paul Trevers, Criminal Justice lead in the Met, said: “The protests were largely peaceful last weekend, however, a small number of people were responsible for unacceptable behaviour and we need the public’s help in identifying them swiftly.
“Do you recognise any of the people in these photographs? If so, we would encourage you to get in touch. There is no place for hate in London and it is important that everyone feels safe on our streets. It’s unacceptable to use these demonstrations to incite hatred.”
The images have been added to our appeals webpage which captures all our live appeals in one place. There are currently more than 60 unnamed individuals on this list.
Anyone with information about these five people, or any of the other people shown on our appeals page, is asked to contact police by calling on 020 8246 9386 quoting Operation Brocks. You can also tweet @MetCC.
To remain anonymous contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
