The controversial ultra-low emission zone was expanded to cover the whole of Greater London this week. Now, the Metropolitan Police has revealed the force received 159 reports of ULEZ cameras being stolen and 351 reports of cameras being damaged between April and August.
More than 500 crimes relating to stealing and damaging ULEZ cameras have been committed in the last five months, the Metropolitan Police have revealed.
A crime can include more than one offence and the number has almost doubled in the past month because by 1 August, the Met had recorded 288 crimes.
The ULEZ was expanded to cover the whole of Greater London on Tuesday, meaning cars that do not meet the required emissions standards now need to pay £12.50 per day to drive in the capital city.
Generally, this means most petrol cars made before January 2006 and diesel cars made before September 2015 are now liable to pay the fee to drive in London.
The figures came after Sky News revealed fraudsters are selling counterfeit certification, with adverts posted on Facebook Marketplace, TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram and WhatsApp claiming to be able to make vehicles "ULEZ exempt".

Go Blade Runners!
Hopefully their war on big brother expands.....
Yeah, a cop will shoot a bladerunner and then it’s on
About a month or so ago, Katie Hopkins had a YouTube showing how spray foam (£7.99 at any hardware store!) can be used to quickly disable ULEZ cameras. She repeated the product name and the price two or three times.
and another ~12p if you leave your prison if the car is older than 2006
Just assign a copper to protect each camera. Probably more productive for the state than having them sit around the station watching Tik Tok videos and porn.
Gives one pause to consider all the cameras everywhere.
If this becomes unworkable, they’ll just outlaw non-ULE vehicles in the name of climate equality. The globalists will not be denied!
I thought maybe it was for anti-terrorism use. Boy, was I wrong.
It’s a penalty tax on older vehicles.
They will ban cars on the streets of London.
