A man in ski goggles is being hunted by police after white paint was thrown on a number of memorials around central London.

White paint was found splattered over the Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park, Piccadilly, on Sunday.

A day later, similar damage was discovered at the Allies Statue of Winston Churchill and Franklin D Roosevelt in New Bond Street, the Canada Memorial in Green Park, The Royal Marine Memorial in The Mall and the memorial to murdered police officer Yvonne Fletcher in St James's Square.

White paint was also found on a shop window in Old Bond Street.

Police have now released CCTV footage of a man wearing ski goggles and carrying a plastic bag and say they want to speak to him about the incidents.

Detective Inspector Dave Watkinson said: "I am hopeful that due to this person's odd appearance, someone may remember seeing them making their way to or from the statues. As a result of the damage caused, the suspect would have left the scenes covered in white paint."
