A suspect in a vandalism spree that caused more than $100,000 of damage to vehicles in the Holyrood neighbourhood was arrested after he was caught damaging property a week later.
A citizen reported seeing a man vandalizing vehicles in Strathearn, near 96th Avenue and 87th Street, on Saturday. He told police he recognized the man from a media report that contained security video.
Officers went to the area at around 12:15 p.m. Saturday, where they arrested the man.
They subsequently linked the suspect to a vandalism spree in the Holyrood neighbourhood a week earlier.
After searching the 31-year-old man’s home, police laid almost two dozen charges, including 19 counts of mischief under $5,000, two counts of mischief over $5,000 and two counts of theft under $5,000.
