The Metropolitan Police wants to trace 28 people after the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally in Central London on December 13. Twenty-four people were arrested for different offences on the day, and 10 more have been taken in retrospectively.
Police now want to speak to the pictured 28 people about a range of public order offences and assaults on officers. Thirty-four people have been taken in thus far, and three have pleaded guilty to assault on an emergency worker and public order offences.
James Moore, 50, from Barnstaple, pleaded guilty to assault on an emergency worker on Tuesday, November 4, at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. He was given a £100 fine. He was also ordered to pay £250 compensation and £85 prosecution costs.
Paul Newman, 56, of Park Road East, Uxbridge, pleaded guilty to a breach of Section 35 of the Public Order Act on Thursday, November 13, at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. He was fined £160.
Aaron Wren, 36, from Rochester, pleaded guilty to breaching Section 4a of the Public Order Act on Monday, November 29, at Highbury Magistrates’ Court. He was given a fine of £216.
Detective Chief Inspector Chris Rudd from the Met’s Public Order Crime Team said: “Two months after the protest, our post-event investigation continues. Officers have looked through hundreds of hours of CCTV footage to review evidence to help with further enquiries.
“We have 28 further people we want to speak to in connection with a range of offences – and we are again appealing for the public’s help to track them down.
“As with any major event, we know many who attended were 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.” ]
