Police asking for tips in spree of mischief to vehicles

EPS Northeast Division investigators are asking the public for any information that may lead to the arrest of a suspect responsible for thousands of dollars in damage to more than 70 vehicles in north Edmonton.

Between midnight and 3 a.m. on Saturday, March 14, 2015, a suspect or suspects damaged more than 70 vehicles in the area between 43 and 66 Street, and 122 and 111 Avenue.


Investigators have been able to determine that the suspect(s) travelled throughout the Beacon Heights neighbourhood, crossed 50 Street into the Newton community and then south into the Highlands area. Vehicles appeared to be randomly targeted and the device used appears to be a blunt object of some kind.


The approximate estimated damages to the vehicles are in excess of $37,000. The majority of the damage is smashed windows. Investigators continue to gather evidence, speak to residents who live in the area and collect any possible video.


“This is incredibly irresponsible behaviour that has a huge impact on the community and has affected many residents,” says Const. Nikolas Pavlov, of Northeast Division. “We are asking the suspects to turn themselves in at Northeast Division, and perhaps the consequences for their criminal activity may be less severe than if they decide to not be accountable.”


Anyone with information that could help identify the suspect or suspects is asked to contact the Edmonton Police Service at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at http://ift.tt/1az8Eve.
