In May, an operation was launched by the Met to ensure a proportionate approach was in place to relation to ULEZ-related crimes.
Please also note that a recorded crime can include multiple offences.
The Met continues to treat criminal activity in relation to ULEZ seriously and has deployed considerable resources to our operation. Where there are possible lines of enquiry, local investigators will follow up using a range of investigative approaches including CCTV trawls, witness searches and an assessment of forensic opportunities.
To date, Met investigations have led to the arrest of two other individuals, one charged and bailed for trial to June 2024 and the other discontinued by the CPS.
