Vancouver's police chief says investigators don't expect Metro Vancouver's gang conflict to slow down, in fact they think it might escalate.

Chief Constable Adam Palmer says there have been 20 gang-related homicides in Metro Vancouver so far this year and another 20 attempted murders.

Palmer made his statements as he released the names and photos of six men he alleges are known gangsters, who represent a public safety risk.

He says investigators believe the six men could be targeted by rivals very soon and their photos are being released so the public can take steps to protect themselves.
