Colombias police have presented photos of 48 people they believe were responsible for much of the violence that exploded in Bogota on Thursday.
The photos are accompanied by numbers and is comprised of 46 men and 2 women. There is a reward for any information given that might lead to their identification and capture. The alleged vandals were found after the police studied footage from security cameras and other video evidence. Those found will reportedly face charges ranging from damage to property, attacking a public servant, conspiracy to commit a crime, to terrorism.
Initially peaceful protests involving a reported 40,000 people descended into violence on Thursday afternoon after clashes with police that left around 200 injured and caused material damage to buildings.
The major-general of the police force, Rodolfo Palomino, said on Friday that the list of photos enables people to see the faces of those that were inciting violence, not just towards members of the police force, but also towards civilians.
