This rogues gallery has been released as part of an ongoing campaign to tackle yobs who cause chaos on buses.

Police have spent months trying to track down seven individuals after various crimes were committed on public transport - and took the decision to release these images as a last-ditch public appeal for information.

The move is part of Operation BusTag, which is run by a Metropolitan Police transport team and CCTV investigation unit to identify, arrest and bring to justice anyone caught carrying out criminal damage by on-bus cameras.

Chief Superintendent Joe Royle, of the Met’s Safer Transport Command, said: “These people may think they have got away with it. They are wrong.

“We are determined that all offenders of bus criminal damage are brought to justice and we will leave no stone unturned in our endeavour to do so.

“However, without successful identification there can be no arrests. By publishing the images in the press there is an even stronger chance of identification through the community, to whom we are extremely grateful for any information received.”
