Met appeal to find men who wore Hamas-style headbands on march

POLICE were today searching for two men wearing alleged Hamas-style headbands during the Armistice Day march as the Met said its officers were working "round the clock" to track down more offenders.

The force said it believed the pair, whose faces were obscured by a balaclava and headscarf, had worn the clothing as a deliberate tactic to make it harder for police to identify them.

But officers investigating possible hate crimes are now seeking information from any member of the public who saw the pair before or after they put on the headwear.

Video footage is also being analysed as part of the Met's wider efforts to identify other suspects involved in potential crimes committed either during the pro-Palestinian march or the far-Right counter-protest.
