Another 'dirty dozen' riot suspects posted

Vancouver police have released photos of another 12 suspects – dubbed the "dirty dozen" – who are wanted in connection with the June 15 Stanley Cup riot.

Police have said they expect to eventually charge hundreds of people in the violent mayhem that erupted after the Vancouver Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins in Game 7, and that the first round of charges will be coming at the end of October.

Deputy Chief Doug Lepard said Thursday that investigators need as much information as they can get from the public to deliver to Crown prosecutors.

"The stronger the evidence, the more likely it is that we will see guilty pleas that save an incredible amount of resources," Lepard said.

There are now a total of 101 suspects whose picture have been posted on the Vancouver Police Department's Riot 2011 website. Of those, 52 have either been arrested, turned themselves in or are under investigation.

Investigators have reported more than 70 people stepped forward to admit they were involved in the riot overall.

The site received almost one million hits within days of launching, and within weeks it had generated about 400 new tips.
