Investigators want media footage of Stanley Cup riots

Police armed with search warrants are visiting newsrooms around Vancouver


They’re looking to confiscate any video shot during the Stanley Cup riot in June.
They say media footage of the rioting and looting that followed the Canucks’ Stanley cup loss to Boston will be invaluable to prosecute suspects.
Police expect to lay the first set of charges against 40 suspects next month.
However, they say 500 or more suspects could eventually be charged.
Vancouver police have been criticized for the delay in laying charges, but insist investigators must take their time to ensure convictions.
