Detectives have released images of 10 people they believe have engaged in “serious violence and violent disorder” during clashes at London protests.

A total of 238 people have now been arrested in connection with demonstrations across central London in recent weeks.

Scotland Yard previously released 60 images of people they were seeking following action in the capital by far-right affiliated groups and Black Lives Matter protesters.

On Saturday, Met Police commander Bas Javid said the force's ongoing investigations were proving fruitful, with another five people detained on Friday.

Mr Javid said: “Our investigation into violent disorder at several protests in central London over the past few weeks remains ongoing.

"We are continuing to arrest those responsible, including another five people yesterday, and I would like to thank everyone who has contacted us in response to our recent appeals.

“Whilst we acknowledge that the vast majority of people who attended the recent protests – and, who are continuing to protest – in order to make their voices heard, have behaved peacefully, we witnessed a minority who were intent on behaving violently and causing harm.

“The violence that was directed towards police officers will not be tolerated.

“Today, we have issued images of a further 10 people who we need to identify and speak with. And I would again encourage anyone who recognises them to phone police.”

Detectives have been carefully analysing hours of CCTV, body worn video from officers, as well as footage which has been widely circulated on social media.

It is likely more images will be released over the coming days and weeks as enquiries progress, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the investigation team on 020 8246 9386 or Tweet @MetCC on Twitter quoting the relevant image number.

Anyone with footage of the violent clashes is asked to send it to officers via ukpoliceimageappeal.co.uk, selecting the incident “Operation Minorca – Central London Protest Disorder”.
