Police release G20 ‘most wanted’ list
Madeleine White
Toronto police displayed the photos Wednesday of a “most wanted” list of people they allege took part in violence and vandalism during the G20 protests.
Det. Sgt. Gary Giroux explained Wednesday afternoon that the list was based on individuals they suspected cause some of the most serious damage during the weekend.
Giroux mentioned that investigators believe one of the men pictured at the conference was responsible for smashing fist-sized holes into a series of window panes in the Commerce Court complex, near King and Yonge Sts.
The photos, which were largely delivered to police stations by citizens, have been sent through face-identifying technologies, but police haven’t been able to identify any of them yet.
However Giroux is hopeful that by releasing the photos the public will help them figure out who took part in the violent vandalism on June 26.
He said that after images were released last week, three people were identified overnight and one is now in custody and facing charges.
Ashran Ravindhraj, 25, of Toronto, is facing charges of arson and two counts of mischief over $5,000 as police allege he smashed windows and burned a police car.
Giroux said that the remaining top 10 would be facing charges of mischief and arson if arrested. He also took time to dispel rumours that one of the men, wearing what he said has been described by some as an expensive jacket, was not an undercover police officer inciting more violence.
Police continue to encourage residents to send them their photos from the G20 weekend.
