Niagara police are seeking a suspect responsible for damaging 61 separate vehicles in a matter of hours across Niagara Region in late October.
Investigators say based on timestamps from security surveillance footage on Oct. 27, the accused began damaging the first of 21 vehicles in Niagara Falls just after 2 a.m., before proceeding to the north end of St. Catharines to damage 26 more.
It’s believed 14 vehicles, between 4 a.m. and 4:12 a.m., were targeted in Grimsby and the Town of Lincoln during a final barrage.
“In the majority of incidents, a rock was used to break either the rear window or driver’s side window of unoccupied parked vehicles,” a police spokesperson said in a release.
“In some circumstances, detectives believe the suspect was carrying a dumbbell and used it as an alternative to cause damage to vehicle windows.”
