“Just a bunch of stuff … whatever was available or around was being thrown,” he said. “A number of different places, a number of different youths, and it was various things.”

Officers have arrested a 12-year-old in relation to the incidents and MacLeod said the investigation is ongoing.

He said there were “some windows that were broken” but he didn’t have details about other damage to the properties.

The 12-year-old is scheduled to appear in youth court at a later date to face three counts of property damage.
