WILFUL DAMAGE

String of damage to dozens of vehicles prompts warnings from P.A. police

More than 40 vehicles were damaged in five neighbourhoods in Prince Albert over four days, prompting police to issue a warning to residents.

Prince Albert police said 41 vehicles were hit between Feb. 9 and 12 in East Hill, West Hill, East Flat, West Flat, and Midtown.

Police said they are actively investigating these wilful damage incidents but are asking for help to prevent further incidents from happening again.

In many of these cases, police said many items were stolen from inside the vehicles, so the service is asking drivers to make sure all valuables are secured or removed from their vehicles and to park in well-lit areas or places surrounded by security cameras.
