A number of residents who live in Prince Albert’s West Flat neighbourhood are filing insurance claims.

Sometime between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, multiple vehicles along 13th. St. W. had their windows smashed. One man was outside with his vacuum when paNOW came by the scene.

“We haven’t had any problems around here for ages,” he said.

The man explained he was at home this morning watching television when he received a knock on the door and it was the police. Moments later he learned two of his truck windows had been smashed and the culprits had gone through his vehicle.
