Met Police seek 12 over Millwall vs Everton disorder with series of images released

Met Police have released images of 12 people they would like to speak to in relation to disorder around Millwall's FA Cup clash with Everton.

One arrest has already been made after violence erupted before, during and after the fourth-round tie at The Den on January 26.

A 27-year-old male was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of wounding with intent, attempted grievous bodily harm (GBH) and violent disorder, and later bailed to appear at a Central London police station on February 28.

Detective Sergeant Matt Simpson, from the Met's Public Order Investigation team, said: "The disorder which broke out on Saturday, January 26 was some of the worst football violence we have witnessed for a very long time.

"It left one man with a life-changing injury to his face, and caused chaos in the streets.

"A post-incident investigation was launched, through which we are working hard to identify those involved in this completely unacceptable and shocking behaviour.

"We have today released images of 12 individuals we are attempting to trace in connection with this incident. The public can play a huge role in helping police, especially by assisting us in identifying wanted individuals. You are our eyes and ears.

"The public have undoubtedly helped us bring many wanted offenders to justice in the past, and we hope they can assist us in this investigation.

"Anyone who recognises the individuals in these images should call police on 020 8246 9386 quoting the image number. Alternatively they can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. You can also tweet police via @MetCC."
