A 20-year-old Coquitlam resident is facing charges for his role in the Stanley Cup riots, the Vancouver Police Department announced on Wednesday.
Ryan Dickinson is facing one count of participating in a riot, two counts of mischief over $5,000 and breach of an undertaking. At the same time charges were also approved against another man, 19-year-old John Sawicki of Surrey.
The VPD's announcement brings the total number of people from the Tri-Cities charged in the June 15 riot to three, with two men coming from Coquitlam and another in Port Coquitlam.
Insp. Les Yeo also said the Integrated Riot Investigation Team has teamed up with the Vancouver Police Fugitive Task Force to arrest "hard-to-find" individuals.
"We won't be backing off this investigation and neither have the public," he said. "Since our Riot Round-up poster campaign on Nov. 16 we are still seeing three to four tips a day come in from the public."
A poster campaign was launched last month, distributins 35,000 flyers featuring pictures of 104 suspected rioters in an effort to drum-up tips from the public.
So far, police have recommended close to 180 charges to crown against more than 60 suspected rioters, who range in age between 16 and 52 years old.
The most common charges related to the riot include participating in a riot (60 charges), mischief (41 charges) and break and enter (35 charges).
