Well over half the people arrested during the deadly riots in Kenosha had traveled there from outside the Wisconsin city, police have revealed.
Of the 175 arrested during protests sparked by the police shooting of local dad Jacob Blake, a total of 105 were not from the city — coming instead from 44 different cities, police announced Sunday.
Kyle Rittenhouse, the teen accused of shooting dead two men and seriously injuring a third last Tuesday, had also allegedly crossed state lines, being arrested in his home in Illinois.
Police seized more than 20 firearms during the protests, leading to numerous charges for carrying concealed weapons, police said.
Officials did not detail how far those arrested had come, or what states they had come from.
Of the 175 arrests, 69 were for breaking curfews put in place following the first night of protesting that started on Aug. 23, hours after video emerged of Blake, 29, being shot several times in the back by a cop.
Three cars were also towed “related to active criminal investigations,” police said, with other charges including for burglary and possession of controlled substances.
“We are currently calculating damage estimates to business,” police said of the widespread looting, smashing of cars and torching of buildings.
The stats were released before President Trump’s planned visit to the devastated city.
