Recognise any of these faces?

Each person is wanted in connection with an incident in which belongings were stolen from a passenger using the railway in London.

In one case, the suspect uses his foot to drag across the bag of an unsuspecting diner eating their lunch. In another, a passenger falls asleep on a bench and wakes up to find their wallet and phone missing.

This week, we’re running Operation Farrier – tackling pickpocketing and theft in the city.

Around 100 officers will be out every day on trains and at stations, targeting would-be pickpockets, talking to passengers and arresting outstanding suspects.

So if you recognise any of the people in these images, please contact us by calling 0800 40 50 40 or texting 61016 with the reference number 146 of 13 August.

Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
