21 November 2023 17:02 Appeal to trace men after disorder near Whitehall   Throughout the day, there were several incidents of violent disorder across central London, including in and around Whitehall.

The Met is appealing for the public’s help to identify 20 men who took part in a counter-protest on Saturday, 11 November.

Throughout the day, there were several incidents of violent disorder across central London, including in and around Whitehall.

Detectives are investigating a range of offences including inciting racial hatred, racially aggravated public order offences and assault on police officers.

Commander Kyle Gordon said: “Public order policing doesn’t end when the event is over, and since Remembrance weekend, our teams have been working around the clock to identify those involved in any criminality that took place on the day.

“They’ve trawled through hundreds of hours of CCTV footage and are continuing to review evidence to help with enquiries.

“We need the public’s help to track down these men, who we want to speak to in connection with a range of offences.

“As with any public order event, we know that people may have travelled from outside of London, so we’re asking for people across the country to take a look at those pictured and get in touch if they recognise anyone.”

On the day, officers made 145 arrests for offences for possession of weapons, criminal damage, public order, inciting racial hatred and possession of drugs.
