Hundreds of enforcement cameras for the ULEZ scheme have been cut down or damaged by protesters, and an image has been released of a man who police wish to speak to in connection with offences in Harrow, Hillingdon and Uxbridge on June 17.
The Metropolitan Police have been cracking down on criminal damage and theft of the camera, and reports that 288 crimes relating to the ULEZ cameras have been recording.
This includes approximately 185 reports of cables being damaged, 164 cameras being stolen and 38 reports of cameras being obscured.
Commander Owain Richards said: “These are clearly unacceptable acts of criminality and we have a team of officers investigating and identifying those responsible.
“We are providing a proportionate policing response, balancing these incidents against the wide range of operational demand and crime we must respond to across London.
“We are working closely with Transport for London and alongside our investigation into offences already committed we are supporting them identify new ways to prevent further cameras from being damaged or stolen.”
Anyone with information about the man in the image is asked to call police on 101 or contact via Twitter @MetCC, quoting CAD3968/14AUG. Alternatively contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
