Officers were today appealing for information following the violent disorder in Lambeth last Halloween.

Police were called to reports of criminality at an unlicensed music event in London Fire Brigade Workshop on Whitgift Street.

On arrival at the scene police were bombarded with a variety of missiles, including a petrol bomb.

As the crowd became increasingly violent, extra police resources were brought in.

Fifty-four people have already been identified and arrested in connection with this incident.

Officers continue to make enquiries to identify a total of 49 people in connection with this violent disorder, and West Mercia Police said they could have links to their force area.

Images of all 49 subjects can be found at on the Met Police website.
