Motorists have to pay a £12.50 daily fee to drive in the zone if their car does not meet emissions standards. Cameras are used to track vehicles and check if they need to pay.
Nearly 1,000 crimes linked to London's ULEZ cameras being vandalised or stolen have been recorded by police. Over the last seven months, there have been 987 offences, according to the Metropolitan Police. Of that figure, 220 were reports of cameras being stolen and 767 related to devices being damaged. Three people have been charged so far for targeting the ultra-low emission zone devices, with two being arrested and bailed. One other person has had their case dropped.
Transport for London said on Tuesday that 95% of vehicles within London are now compliant with the emission zone requirements. Their figures suggest they receive approximately £730,000 a day in ULEZ fees.
