Detectives have released images of 15 more people sought in connection with violence and disorder at the Euro 2020 final.

Following chaos at Wembley and in central London on the day of the final, the Met launched an investigation to identify those responsible.

Thousands of ticketless fans stormed Wembley Stadium while mayhem erupted at Leicester Square and King’s Cross which saw bottles smashed, streets littered with rubbish and fights with police.

An initial appeal highlighted 10 individuals linked to the disorder. With help from the public, seven of them have so far been arrested for offences including violent disorder and grievous bodily harm.

Three more individuals, separate to those pictured in the first appeal, have also been arrested for offences linked to the final.

Across the tournament, there have been more than 130 arrests for charges including public order offences, ABH, drunk and disorderly and criminal damage.

DS Matt Simpson, from the Met’s public order crime team, said: “We are now looking to identify a further 15 individuals following our first appeal on Saturday, July 17.

“These individuals are wanted in relation to multiple different offences which led to the disorder at the Euro 2020 final.”
