Americans among those still being sought for G20 acts

Toronto police believe two of the worst offenders hail from New York City and have sent an officer to work within that city’s police department.

An officer from Toronto is also stationed with U.S. border guards to assist investigators in locating the two suspects, which Giroux said “are single-handedly responsible for thousands of dollars worth of damage.”

He alleges their agenda was to come here and not protest peacefully, but to deliberately damage then very calmly return to the U.S.

“To me, it’s even more offensive than someone who’s caught up in the mob mentality of it. As a result of that, I say with confidence that they will be extradited,” Giroux said.

Toronto officers are working with law enforcement and media agencies in the U.S. and Montreal in a concerted effort to arrest and charge these wanted persons.

To date, authorities have collected 28,000 still images and as many as 600 videos as evidence.

Police also announced Thursday the re-arrest of Kurt Roarco, 22, of no fixed address. He was first arrested and charged on July 18, but has since been re-arrested on a surety warrant.

Brandon Martin Witzke, 21, of Toronto, was arrested on Aug. 25. He has been charged with mischief over $5,000.
