A 31-year-old Edmonton man is facing mischief charges after vehicle and apartment windows were smashed in two separate incidents this week in Bonnie Doon.
Around 11:30 p.m. Monday, officers were called to the area of 89th Street and 83rd Avenue to investigate a vandalism spree.
Officers interviewed several complainants who reported damage to 17 vehicles, including smashed windshields and slashed tires, police said in a release Friday.
Officers were again called to the neighbourhood around 1 a.m. Thursday after reports of a man waving a knife in the air outside an establishment.
Police were told the suspect then walked into a nearby residential area around 81st Street and 78th Avenue, “where he allegedly proceeded to smash multiple vehicle and apartment windows with a hatchet.”
The man has been charged with 39 counts of mischief under $5,000.
