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

7601 2222 or to postmaster at city-of-london.police.uk . Alternatively,

contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
