Images Released Following Student Protests
Images of a number of people police wish to trace in connection with serious disorder in central London during December’s student protests have been released.
Detectives from the Met’s Operation Malone team, which is investigating the serious disorder and violence in the capital on Thursday, 9 December, have issued the pictures taken from CCTV cameras in the Regent Street/Oxford Circus area.
A convoy including a car carrying Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, was also attacked in this area.
Although the images are grainy, officers believe members of the public will be able to recognise the individuals featured.
The images and footage show a woman striking the Royal car and breaking the back window of one of the convoy vehicles. She is pictured with a man, whom police wish to trace as a potential witness. Officers believe the woman is the same female featured in the first image released on 11 December in connection with the disorder.
Officers are also keen to trace two men seen separately attacking the car.
Detective Chief Superintendent Matthew Horne, heading the Operation Malone team, said: "The student protests saw a number of incidents of violence escalate across central London, including in the shopping areas of Oxford Street and Regent Street during some of the busiest Christmas shopping periods.
“Police officers were attacked, and buildings and shops had their windows smashed, amongst other acts of vandalism, including an attack on the royal convoy.
"We believe that most of the people whose pictures we have released may have committed serious offences of violent disorder and criminal damage in this area and urge them, or anybody who knows them, to come forward and speak to us.
"We understand the importance of the right to protest, but people who break the law and endanger those who wish to protest peacefully by committing criminal offences must face the inevitable consequences of their actions.”
Operation Malone detectives are collating and trawling hours of CCTV and footage gathered by police during the protests. The protests were organised in response to the proposed rise in tuition fees.

Subliminal advertising 'affects brain'
Invisible subliminal images do attract the brain's attention on a subconscious level, researchers at University College London have claimed. Using brain scans, researchers looked at whether an image you aren't aware of - but one that reaches the retina - has an impact on brain activity in the primary visual cortex, part of the occipital lobe.
