Vancouver Police have launched a website to try to catch the rioters who caused extensive damage to a Vancouver arena last November prior to a Guns 'N Roses concert.

The website includes pictures of 44 "people of interest." The images were taken from videotapes and photos seized from members of the media.

"We're going to ask the cooperation of the public to view these people and to advise us as to the identity of these people," says Deputy Chief Gary Greer of the Vancouver Police. "We are going to arrest them and bring them to justice."

The riot began last fall after the rock concert was cancelled just minutes before it was scheduled to begin. Concert-goers smashed in windows and doors at GM Place after Guns 'N Roses lead singer Axl Rose failed to arrive. The riot caused almost $500,000 worth of damage.

Police have charged three people in connection with the melee, but say they are seeking at least 44 more.

Vancouver lawyer Phil Rankin notes there are some pictures noticeably absent from the website: pictures of police officers accused of using excessive force on rioters.

Rankin represents two men who were allegedly beaten by the same officer, Constable Reg Forester. A videotape appears to show Forester smashing in the teeth of one man and beating another with a baton as the man tried to leave the area.

Greer says the footage was not included for a reason.

"The same process we are using to identify these individuals is being used in that complaint, and that is still under investigation ... our internal force is using the video system for that as well."

Those wishing to provide information on the "people of interest" and wish to remain anonymous can call Crimestoppers at 604-669-TIPS or 1-800-222-TIPS.
