Atlantic City Police Department

ATLANTIC CITY – The Atlantic City Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying individuals in reference to the ongoing investigation into the rioting and looting that took place on May 31 throughout parts of Atlantic City.

Investigators have reviewed hundreds of hours of video recorded coverage from public and private cameras resulting in the identification of suspects who will be criminally charged at the completion of the investigation.

“The Atlantic City Police Department respects and supports those who exercise their First Amendment rights, including the right to peacefully protest,” Police Chief Henry M. White Jr. said. “Individuals should not have their constitutionally protected rights hijacked by individuals committing criminal activity.”

White said a special task force has worked for a month to compile photographs of suspects from video surveillance cameras.

“The release of the photographs and footage followed a month of legwork by a special task force created by the Atlantic City Police Department to hold people accountable for the serious crimes that occurred during the protest on May 31, specifically in the area of Tanger Outlets Atlantic City,” White said.
