The BBC has announced a special episode of Crimewatch focusing on the recent UK riots.

The 30-minute episode, titled Riots Caught on Camera: A Crimewatch Special, will be presented by Crimewatch host and former police officer Rav Wilding.

The programme will appeal for viewers to help identify many rioters and looters that were caught on camera during the violence. Wilding will also visit the areas of the UK that were affected by the riots.

BBC One's Question Time UK riots special was seen by approximately 3.5 million people when it aired last night.

Wilding set up a Twitter account this week in order to help the authorities identify those involved in the UK riots.

Riots Caught on Camera: A Crimewatch Special will air on BBC One on Thursday, August 18 at 8pm.
