Eight Held in London Over Ulez Camera Sabotage Plot

Metropolitan Police have intensified searches across three regions to recover suspected sabotage tools following the arrests.

Overview

  • Police executed raids at addresses in Uxbridge, Ickenham, Northwood, Sutton, Eltham, Windsor and the Isle of Sheppey
