City Police
Your help is needed to identify and locate the suspects depicted in
the photographs on the following web pages.
On 18 June 1999 a demonstration billed as The Carnival Against
Capitalism took place in central London. Approximately 23 groups took
part, the largest being Reclaim the Streets. The demonstration started
at 7am in the City of London, when a number of groups met up on
bicycles, then set out to cause congestion by riding very slowly
around the City in a large group, effectively blocking main
thoroughfares.
The other groups met up at different times and locations throughout
the City and central London, culminating in the groups massing at
Liverpool Street Station at midday, at which time the crowd numbered
approximately 6,000. The demonstration had been largely peaceful up to
this point. The crowd split into three groups and made its way, taking
different routes, to the London International Financial Futures
Exchange (LIFFE) Building, Dowgate Hill. On route to the LIFFE
building, the crowd became aggressive. They attacked police officers
and persons who were not part of the demonstration. They attacked
premises, causing serious damage and stealing property.
Once massed at the LIFFE building, they tried to storm first this
building and then, after being repelled, other buildings in the
vicinity. They caused massive criminal damage. This carried on for
several hours during which police fought with the crowd to regain
control. At about 6pm, the crowd made its way to Trafalgar Square,
causing more damage on the way, where it started to disperse later
that evening.
The investigation into the offences committed that day has been code
named Operation Enterprise. Hundreds of video tapes and thousands of
still photographs shot on the day have been scanned to identify
persons committing offences. Some of this evidence supports the case
against persons already charged. A number of persons have been
identified since 18 June, but there are numerous others still to be
identified.
The following pages show photographs of:
* persons wanted for offences committed on that day who are
currently unidentified
* persons who have been identified but not traced
* those who have been arrested, charged with offences, released on
bail and subsequently failed to appear at court
Any information you can give as to their identity or current
whereabouts will be greatly appreciated and acted upon in the
strictest confidence.
All information, intelligence and queries should be directed to the
incident room during office hours on 020 7601 2850, fax 020 7601 2878,
outside normal hours to the main City of London switchboard on 020
