Vancouver police investigating APC camera crew.

VANCOUVER/CKNW - Vancouver police are investigating to see if two camera crews and a reporter filmed the vandalism by three members of the Anti-Poverty Committee at the cabinet offices yesterday.Constable Howard Chow says police are trying to determine if the camera crews belonged to the APC or if they are legitimate news crews.
"They may be part of the package, they may be part of the protesters. that is something we're looking at so until the investigation has a chance to unfold that's areas we really wouldn't go down until we establish it."
Chow says sometimes media attention can cause negative effects.
"Very often with people like this the mere fact that the camera is there may tend to drive up some of the performances that are going on."
Three people have been charged including a juvenile.
