POLICE are appealing for help in catching youngsters who vandalise buses or assault staff in Lewisham and Greenwich.

These images have been released through Operation BusTag, a collaboration between the Met Police, bus companies and Transport for London.

Once again BusTag has enlisted the help of News Shopper's award-winning Shop A Yob campaign because of its success in putting names to faces captured on CCTV.

If you recognise any of the young people pictured, call BusTag on 020 7027 8950 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
