TWO people from North Vancouver are among 37 people who have turned themselves in to Vancouver police following last months Stanley Cup riot.
The information comes from an update of the Vancouver Police Departments integrated riot investigation team that is preparing charges against those people.
An additional 111 people are under investigation for criminal acts relating to the incident. The Vancouver police said there are also hundreds more who have been identified and will be investigated in the coming months.
So far police havent released any information about those who turned themselves in, except to say that 30 are men and seven are women. Most of the self-confessed rioters come from Lower Mainland, while a handful are from Vancouver Island and the Interior. No names have been released.
So far, the riot investigators say they are looking into more than 200 incidents with anywhere from one to 300 suspects in each. The team has received 4,300 email tips, 15,000 images and 1,500 hours of video to review.
But getting to the point of laying charges is expected to be a lengthy and complex process, they said.
Among the crimes being investigated are participating in a riot, assault, break and enter, theft, robbery, arson, possession of weapons and possession of stolen property.
