St. Albert police, along with half a dozen residents, are concerned about a vandalism spree that took place in the city last week.
St. Albert RCMP got six complaints from residents who reported their fences, and in one case a garage door, had been damaged in apparent hit-and-run collisions on March 1.
The six incidents were spread across the city: three in Grandin on Grosvenor Boulevard, Garden Crescent and Grandin Village; one in Woodlands on Woodlands Road; one on Lester Crescent in Lacombe Park; and one at the southwest edge of the city on Holly Place in Heritage Lakes.
Police say “considerable” damage was done to the fences and the garage door, and note the vehicle involved may be damaged as a result. They have not provided a description of the vehicle nor possible suspects.
An investigation is ongoing, and St. Albert RCMP is asking for any witnesses to these hit-and-runs, which likely took place between the evening of Feb. 29 and the early morning of March 1, to come forward.
Two residents posted warnings to the Community of St. Albert Facebook page earlier this week. One reported multiple houses in Heritage Lakes had been affected, and another wrote that after her fence in Grandin had been driven into, the tire marks looked like they came in straight with no sign of braking, skidding, sliding, or anything else that would suggest an accident.
Other Facebook users replied to those posts saying there had been even more similar incidents around the city that night.
Anyone with information is asked to contact RCMP at 780-458-7700 or report information anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
