The nameless prime suspect of last year’s Stanley Cup riot on the run for months just got arrested yesterday. Police has been in hot pursuit of this wanted young man in a blue Vancouver Canucks jersey, as they tried to identify and locate him along with all the other wanted looters from the incident of June 15, 2011. Codenamed suspect IRIT-00001, was the last one among the 15 primary suspects alleged with beating a Good Samaritan. All other fourteen suspects had been arrested until now.
Investigators were tracking his whereabouts out of B.C. and all the way in three provinces until they finally made an arrest in Saskatchewan. It was officially announced on Wednesday, that 24-years-old Jonathan Stephen Mahoney has been arrested from a potash mine in Lanigan, Sask. Mahoney was working with a construction company in Vancouver at the time of riot. Mahoney has officially been charged with several crimes including participation in a riot, assault, assault with a weapon and mischief.
Vancouver police labeled Mahoney as the “most elusive rioter” once they had made the arrest. Police awaited Mahoney for his arrest as he smoothly walked out of the washroom door of his workplace near Lanigan, Sask. Insp. Laurence Rankin disclosed in the news conference on Wednesday, that “It was very difficult because he wasn’t a resident of the Lower Main-land or the province.” Vancouver police also mentioned that they have suggested generating 200 new criminal charges against 50 more suspects of the Stanley Cup riots, which will conclude a total of 872 charges against 275 suspects.
