The Chicago Police Department, intent on catching the looters who pillaged the city on Sunday, has launched a “Looting & Civil Unrest Videos” website showing surveillance camera footage from the destruction, and asking citizens to identify the perpetrators.

On Wednesday, Chicago Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan stated, “Cases are easier to solve and much stronger when the community identifies these suspects and works with the police and the detectives to hold them accountable. … We’re now seeking the community’s help to identify additional offenders that are seen on video and in photographs looting and committing other criminal behavior.”
