Watch out London Rioters! The police are turning to Social Media to bust you! As the the 2011 London riots moved into their 3rd day, officials began turning to Social Media sites like Flickr to identify and catch troublemakers.

How London Police Are Using Flickr

London Metropolitan Police used their official Flickr account, MetropolitanPolice, to create an album named “London Disorder – Operation Withern“. The Flickr album contains 15 images so far of people rioting and breaking into stores like this KFC restaurant. The photos were captured using CCTV cameras.

According to a description posted with the photos, “Operation Withern’s priority is to bring to justice those who have committed violent and criminal acts. As the detailed and thorough investigation progresses we will be issuing photographs of suspects, like those of alleged looters we are releasing today . . . these CCTV images are from incidents of looting in Croydon over last night and Norwood Road SE27 in the early hours of this morning.”
