Police offer £10,000 reward to catch anarchist known as ****

Bristol anarchist **** is believed to have set fire to a mobile phone mast and caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to a newspaper office

Police have offered a £10,000 reward to help track down a suspected anarchist known as ****.

After a fruitless three-year hunt for *****, officers in Bristol announced the bounty to encourage the public to help them out

**** is suspected of carrying out an arson attack at a communications mast in Bath and causing criminal damage to the Bristol Post newspaper office during the August 2011 riots.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Bevan, of Avon and Somerset Police, said: "*** is wanted in connection with these two serious crimes and we're asking the public to help us to find him.

"The arson attack at Bathampton mast on January 3 2013 caused damage worth several hundred thousand pounds and affected TV, radio and mobile phone signals to thousands of homes and businesses, including sole and small-scale traders and independent businesses that rely on their telephones to work and trade.

"It robbed many people of their only lifeline in the event of an emergency and put the lives of thousands of innocent adults and children at risk.
"The incident at the Bristol P`ost building on August 12 2011 saw thousands of pounds worth of mindless criminal damage caused to the premises. Windows were smashed and paint was thrown over the front of the building.
"Both incidents caused huge disruption to the lives of innocent people and we're taking them extremely seriously."
**** is white, with a **** and around *** tall, according to Crimestoppers, which has offered the money for information that leads to his arrest.
He has**** eyes and is known to sometimes ***. He has ****.
He is known to regularly change his appearance and give false details, including a name of ****.
He is ****.
He also *****
Police believe he could be in Europe or further afield. He has links to anarchist communities and the areas surrounding Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham, Pembrokeshire and London.
A dedicated police operation was established to investigate whether there was a link between incidents of arson and criminal damage in Avon and Somerset during the last four years.
Police are investigating more than 100 incidents as part of Operation Rhone, though ***** is wanted in connection with only two incidents.
Mr Bevan added: "We are taking every incident extremely seriously and we're committed to bringing those guilty of committing them to justice.
"As part of the investigation we have reviewed each incident and we are now treating them as linked as we believe this new approach is the best way to take the investigation forward.
"Each offence committed has the potential to seriously pollute the environment – by destroying natural habitats and protected Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and releasing acrid smoke and other harmful materials into the atmosphere.
"In many cases they also pose the risk of serious injury or even the death of innocent adults and children.
"We are continuing to explore numerous lines of inquiry including investigating claims of responsibility which have been made on various online websites or documents.
"We will pursue every avenue we can in order to bring whoever is guilty of committing the offences to justice.
"We want to hear from anyone who has information about the people they believe may be responsible for committing these crimes or people they may have seen acting suspiciously."

I was wondering when this was going to happen, though I thought it would be to those who burned that police training centre. Poor bastard is going to have to watch his back now. Best of luck to him.

i hope he is nice and well hanging arround in athens or amsterdam or where ever... one of the best things people often overlook when moaning about the anarchist squatter counterculture with its AC's, voku's and shit. when things get intens we dont have to choose between going fully underground or staying strictly legal, there is a reason the RZ managed far more attacks in germany at a fraction of the arrests and deaths of its militants as the RAF.

Haha I like that the police are concerned about the potential environmental damage posed by smoke but are apparently ok with the potential damage caused by blanketing entire neighborhoods with tear gas.

That's a very good point, its an extremely useful and powerful international network to have access to for many reasons.

It's like in far west, so crazy. I wasn't even know it was legal to police to offer reward like this in UK.
I guess it's exceptional because i never saw this before.
