Met Police launches operation to protect Ulez cameras and target vandals wrecking them
The force is taking aim at opponents of the policy who have gone as far as damaging or stealing cameras that record vehicles that enter the zone.A total of 96 reports of Ulez cameras being vandalised was reported by early May - up from 31 before April - as a group called the Blade Runners takes credit for attacking them.Now, the Met has launched "Operation Eremon", with a senior officer appointed to collect the reports of vandalism and theft and coordinate police investigations.
"We are carrying out a thorough investigation and this includes gathering CCTV, speaking to potential witnesses and following up active leads.Khan has offered an olive branch to opponents of the scheme, giving every Londoner access to financial help to scrap their cars if they don't meet Ulez criteria.He argues Ulez is vital to bringing down air pollution, which causes premature deaths and lung conditions.
