Met counter terrorism detectives are releasing images of four people they would like to speak to in relation to two alleged incidents and are asking the public get in touch if they can help identify them.
Appeal 1:
Social media footage of a pro-Palestine protest in Whitehall on Saturday, 14 October shows two women with images of paragliders on their tops.
Detectives have been working to identify these women and we are now looking to identify a third woman that is seen on CCTV with them. This woman has a placard with the paraglider image attached to it and we are now releasing new and clearer images of these women as we seek the public’s help.
The first woman is dark skinned, and is wearing light brown trousers and a long-sleeved red top with an image of a paraglider on the back. She initially had a blue denim jacket tied around her waist and later put this on over her red top. She is wearing a light blue medical face mask and a dark scarf or bandana around her head. She also has a dark red shoulder bag.
The second woman has light brown skin with dark hair clipped up at the back of her head. She is wearing black leggings, black boots and has a large black shoulder bag. She initially wore a dark hooded top – with a paraglider image attached to the back – and later put on a light brown coat.
The third woman is holding the placard with the paraglider image on the post, appears to be aged in her 20s to 40s and Afro-Caribbean. She is wearing a large pendant which we believe is green, a dark scarf with a floral pattern on it, a red jacket and red scarf or bandana around her head.
Appeal 2:
The fourth person that we are seeking to identify is a man seen waving a placard with the words “I fully support Hamas” on it during a protest on Bond Street on Saturday, 21 October.
He has short dark hair, light skin and is wearing a dark jacket with a light top underneath, a light stripy scarf around his neck, and light trousers or jeans.
Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, said: “Detectives have carried out numerous enquiries to identify these people and we are now asking the public to take a good look at these images and tell us if they know who these people are.
“I would stress that we want to speak to these people to help us with our enquiries, and in fact, I would urge them to get in touch with us directly.”
The public is urged to take a look at these pictures and if they know these people or have any information that could help the investigation, to please report it in confidence online at gov.uk/ACT or by calling 0800 789 321.
