Metropolitan Police have released updated figures on ULEZ-related crime.
Since August 29, drivers of cars that fail to meet emission and safety standards set by Transport for London must pay a £12.50 fee per day to enter the Greater London Authority boundary.
From April 1 to September 31, the Met recorded 795 crimes relating to ULEZ cameras.
This includes 200 reports of cameras being stolen and 595 cameras being damaged.
On Friday, September 22, a 52-year old man was arrested in Bexley on suspicion of criminal damage. He has been bailed until December 19 pending further enquires.
The man was taken to a South London police station for questioning before being released on bail.
A police spokesperson said: “The Met continues to treat criminal activity in relation to ULEZ seriously and has deployed considerable resources to our operation. Where there are possible lines of enquiry, local investigators will follow up using a range of investigative approaches including CCTV trawls, witness searches and an assessment of forensic opportunities.”
