Police are appealing for information on these people, caught on camera during looting in West Norwood last night.

Operation Withern is investigating the serious disorder and violence across London, and its priority is to bring to prosecute those who have committed or were involved in violent and criminal acts.

The CCTV images are of suspected looters involved in incidents across West Norwood last night, and in the early hours of this morning.

Commander Simon Foy said: "Operation Withern is continuing apace. As well as the many arrests and charges the team is working hard to identify suspects.

"Those who have or intend to go out and commit violent, criminal acts should be warned. We will have photographs and evidence that we will use to identify you and bring you to justice.

"We are releasing the first of many, many images of people we will be speaking to in connection with the scenes of violence. We will not tolerate the violence that has been seen in parts of London."

If anyone recognises individuals in the photographs or has any information about the violence and disorder that has occurred, they should contact the Major Investigation Team on 0208 345 4142.

Alternatively anyone can report crime and provide information anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

A concert aimed at combating the spread of gang culture is being backed by stars from the worlds of music and football.

The sixth annual Peace Concert, which is expected to be attended by up to 800 youths, aims to promote an alternative for many South London youths who find themselves facing a life of violence and crime.

A range of public figures will attend the event including Damilola Taylor's cousin Chris Preddie, the mother of Andre Smartt-Ford, the teenager murdered inside Streatham Ice ink in 2007, and rapper Dreddy Kruger. Mayor Boris Johnson may also attend the event and England Footballer Jermaine Defoe has sent a video message in support.

The event, organised by support group Storm Empowerment, will include live music, educational stalls and speeches from the guests. Speakers will discuss the impact of gun and knife crime and solutions to the growing threat of gang culture.

Marie Hanson, founder of Storm Empowerment and the event, said: "It's for Children to be aware of the dangers of knife and gun crime and to put alternatives in place. It's about empowering the young people."

The event will be held on Thursday August 4, at Wandsworth Town Hall from 3pm to 10pm.
