Sylvan Lake RCMP have laid charges against four people, three youth and one adult, regarding an early morning spree of vehicle windows smashed.
The incident, which occurred over the Thanksgiving weekend, resulted in 12 vehicles with smashed window, from what appears to be a pellet gun. Another two vehicles sustained other damage.
RCMP says the vandalism spree resulted in roughly $7,000 worth of damage.
“This was a series of senseless acts by four people who knew what they were doing was wrong,” Staff Sergeant Jeff McBeth of the Sylvan Lake RCMP said.
