Police have released dozens of pictures to help catch the greedy thugs who looted and vandalised shops in Colliers Wood last month.

This week, Merton Police have released more images of suspects they want to speak to about last month's ransacking of the Tandem Centre and Priory Retail Park on Monday, August 9.

Thugs also targeted the nearby Total petrol station, whose manager described the greedy vandals as a "migration of wildebeest".

Hundreds of people took part in the attack on Colliers Wood, where a police van was attacked by rioters throwing bottles and rocks and, at one point, firefighters had to rescue looters trapped in PC World.

A standoff developed after 9.30pm after police withdrew from the Tandem Centre, where the rioters broke into the shops including Sports Direct, JD Sports, PC World and Mothercare.
