A Waterloo man was arrested in Wellington County after a vehicle was attacked with an axe last week, according to provincial police.
Wellington County OPP say officers from Perth and Wellington counties were dispatched to a business on Wellington Road 86 at around 7:30 a.m. on May 11.
By the time the officers arrived, the person who had hacked up the vehicle with the axe had fled the scene in a car, according to a release.
