Clutching a bottle of drink, grinning broadly and struggling to carry an armful of shoes, this woman was today one of many new riot suspects being hunted by police.
In another image a man in Hackney stands in the road holding a house brick, not bothered by the fact his other arm is in a plaster cast and sling.
The images are just two of more than 80 police released today in a bid to hunt down every last suspected rioter and looter who took to the streets earlier in the week.
Despite initial fears that associates of the suspects would not want to 'snitch', the public have been 'inundating' the police with information about the swathes of yobs who ransacked England's streets, shops and homes.

Another picture shows a man with tattoos decorating his right arm, grasping what appears to be a jagged glass bottle.
All have been published by the Metropolitan Police, who are appealing to the public for help identifying people wanted in connection with the violent crimes that destroyed parts of the capital.
So far they have made a staggering 1,217 arrests and charged 745 people in connection with the widespread looting and violence.
Police in Manchester have been 'inundated' with tip-offs from the public in response to their 'Shop A Looter' campaign, the force say.
Greater Manchester Police said today that there had been 208 arrests so far in connection with the rioting and 134 people had been charged.
Hoods, tattoos and big hair: Another half dozen suspects police want to identify
Pictures of suspected rioters are being displayed on huge advertising vans being driven around Manchester and neighbouring Salford, where hundreds took part in disorder earlier this week.
And while this resort is helping to identify suspects it is also prompting those involved to turn themselves in.
A youth handed himself in after his friend saw his picture on the ad vans and called him to say his image was all over Manchester and he had no place to hide, a GM police spokesman said.

Also among the new arrests was a 14-year-old boy who was detained by Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan, who also recovered stolen trainers with the tags still on.
The boy, who cannot be named, remains in custody on suspicion of burglary following a theft at the Foot Locker store in Manchester city centre.
Mr Shewan said: 'We said we would be coming for you, and we are.
'Within minutes of the ad van being launched in Manchester with the faces of some of those people involved, we have been inundated with information from members of the public about who these people are.

'These are just some of the good arrests we have made. I have been told of countless more by officers who are using every piece of information and every available avenue to find these people and bring them in.
'With the help of our communities we are identifying these people and arresting them. This is just the start - we will not rest until we have identified everyone involved.'
West Midlands Police said they have arrested 509 people in connection with the disturbances, including 42 in the last 24 hours.
A spokesman for the force said officers on a raid found £30,000 in cash and arrested a 20-year-old woman believed to have been involved in looting at Birmingham's Armani store.
He added that one woman from Handsworth had escorted her 15-year-old daughter to a police station having recognised her image in a CCTV media appeal.
To deal with the stream of those charged, courts have been throughout the weekend.

Magistrates, clerks, ushers, lawyers and security guards have been working consecutively for the last four nights to hear riot-related cases.
An 18-year-old who broke into a London jeweller's shop during last week's riots handed himself in to police after his picture was published in the media.
Aaron Douglas went to Kennington police station in south London accompanied by his sister to surrender after being persuaded by his family, City of Westminster Magistrates' Court heard.
Today, he admitted breaking into Crystal Palace Jewellers in Church Road, Upper Norwood, south east London, and stealing goods worth £6,100 in the early hours of August 9.
The attack on the store came in the form of two raids - the first by 10 males who were later joined by a gang of 20 yobs.
Catherine Wear, prosecuting, said Douglas, of Gibbs Square, Norwood Park, was caught on CCTV lifting up a security shutter to help other raiders in and out.
He will be sentenced at Inner London Crown Court on an unspecified date after the hearing was adjourned for reports.
