Explained simply
London’s public transport network includes buses and the Underground, commonly called the Tube. The Metropolitan Police investigate reported crimes on the network and may ask the public to help identify people or provide information.
CCTV can help officers establish what happened and identify people involved, though an image alone does not prove that someone committed an offence. In this case, police are investigating a reported sexual assault involving a teenage girl; the available report does not give details of when or where it happened or the investigation’s outcome.
