Let’s hope among those arrested were some of the Looters, who took advantage of a young boys tragic death to fill their pockets as media reported many smiling and laughing as they carted away their ill gotten goods.  Let’s really hope these Looters with their smiling scum faces are televised so the neighbour and neigbourhood storeowners will know  who they are!.

MONTREAL – Thirty-five people have been arrested by Montreal police as part of their investigation into a riot last weekend following the fatal police shooting of a teenage boy.

Montreal police Chief Yvan Delorme said Monday that security has also been beefed up at the station serving Montreal North, where the riot happened. Security cameras have been installed around the building along with other measures Delorme wouldn’t describe.

He said an additional 30 officers have been assigned to the station, which is in what police are calling a hot zone.

Police have released pictures of numerous people caught on security cameras during the riot and gotten tips from the public.

The tactic also proved fruitful during the Stanley Cup riot downtown earlier this year.

Montreal North erupted into a riot last Sunday during a demonstration to protest the police shooting of 18-year-old Fredy Villanueva, who was killed last Saturday as police moved in on a group of men in a local park.

Villanueva was shot three times and bled to death.
