Vancouver police pose as reporters to arrest anti Winter Olympics protester

VANCOUVER (CP) _ An anti-poverty protester who threatened to evict members of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games organizing committee from their homes and offices has been arrested.

Vancouver Police Department spokesman Tim Fanning says Saturday's arrest of David Cunningham was made so he could be issued a peace bond to stay away from members of the organizing committee.

Last week, Cunningham spoke about individual VANOC members during a protest outside the organizing committee's building while a board meeting took place inside.

``We have found where their offices are, we have found where their homes are. We're going to go and we're going to evict them from their offices like they've evicted hundreds of our brothers and sisters,'' he said at the protest.

Cunningham has been ordered not to have contact with VANOC board members and to stay away from VANOC offices and events.

Kim Kerr of the Downtown Eastside Residents Association says Cunningham was called by someone posing as a reporter frmo the free Vancouver daily newspaper 24 Houtrs asking for an interview.

Fanning confirmed that.
