Days after Vancouver police launched a website to identify 40 people allegedly involved in June’s Stanley Cup riot, hundreds of tips have rolled in. As of Friday morning the website had attracted 10,000 hits leading to 225 tips, police said. “Six people have come forward and either turned themselves in, or are in the process of doing so,” Const. Jana McGuinness said in a press release. Currently, investigators are attempting to confirm the names of nine suspects. After the site went live on Tuesday, it began to attract around 2200 hits per hour, which added up to 50 tips. The site includes clear images of three women and 37 men caught on video allegedly in the act of committing criminal offences. Souce: Vancouver Sun
