The expansion of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) has sparked a fierce backlash from motorists who are now facing daily charges of £12.50 if their vehicles do not comply.
This has led to an increase in attacks on ULEZ cameras and calls by senior Tories to slash the scheme in favour of hard-pressed motorists.
The scale of this criminality is significant, with hundreds of cameras being damaged or stolen across the city.
