Toronto Police charge seven more G20 protesters

Jill Mahoney

Days after releasing photographs of “most wanted” suspects, Toronto Police have arrested seven more G20 protesters.

Police arrested five of the men on Monday and two on Sunday. All but one of their photos were released in the past two weeks as police asked the public for help identifying suspects.

“Some people are passing along information that they know the people or giving us information that’s leading us to conduct further inquiries to confirm this info on our own,” said Detective Bill McGarry of the G20 investigative team.

The men – all are in their teens or 20s – face mischief charges in relation to alleged activity on June 26, when police cruisers were burnt and storefronts were damaged. Some were also charged with arson, attempted theft and failing to comply with probation.

From left to right: Jeffrey Delaney, Robert Kainola, Michael Corbett, Bryan O’Handley and Kurt Roarco. These men face charges in relation to alleged activity during the G20 in Toronto.

Those facing charges are:

-Kurt Roarco, 22, of no fixed address. He was charged with mischief over $5,000, arson and failing to comply with probation.

-Andrew Loughrin, 23, of Toronto. He faces a charge of mischief over $5,000.

-Michael Corbett, 29, of Toronto. He was charged with mischief over $5,000.

-Bryan O’Handley, 19, of Toronto. He was charged with mischief over $5,000.

-Jeffrey Delaney, 23, of Toronto. He faces charges with mischief over $5,000 and attempted theft over $5,000.

-Robert Kainola, 24, of Toronto. He was charged with mischief over $5,000.

-A young offender, who can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was charged with two counts of Mischief over $5,000.

On Friday, police issued arrest warrants for three of the men: Mr. Roarco, Mr. Corbett and Mr. O’Handley.

The police force’s G20 Investigative Team released two batches of photos of suspects in the past two weeks. Since then, a total of 10 protesters have been arrested and charged.
