Pictures: West Midlands Police issue more CCTV images as hunt to identify looters involved in last August's Birmingham riots continues

ARMS full of booze and clothes, these suspected looters probably thought they had got away with plundering shops during the summer riots.

But determined detectives today warned them to think again.

More than five months on from the shocking scenes that swept across Birmingham during two days of looting and rioting, West Midlands Police has released images of another 30 people they want to trace over the trouble.

And acting Detective Inspector Julie Woods vowed: “We haven’t forgotten what happened and we will not stop looking for these people until they have been brought to justice.”

The 30 are the final group of suspects still to be identified.

Police picked out their faces after painstakingly scouring the last remaining hours of CCTV footage that was gathered after the trouble on August 8 and 9 last year.

Now detectives have called on readers of the Birmingham Mail to help name them.

Det Insp Woods said: “Forensic science and old-fashioned detective work got us so far, but we could not have arrested so many people without the help of the public.

“As we release this final set of images today, I would like to once again call on the communities of the West Midlands to take a look at them and tell us if they recognise anyone.

“Six months ago we saw unprecedented scenes across our region, scenes which horrified most law abiding citizens.

‘‘We haven’t forgotten what happened and we will not stop looking for these people until they have been brought to justice.”
