All of the cars were in the Jarvis Street and Central Avenue area of Fort Erie and sometime between April 4 and 5, nine cars had been damaged and 20 tires had been slashed.

Getting some camera footage (shown above), police describe the suspect as a white male, short, slender, wearing a baseball cap, a dark hoodie with a black and white stripe on the shoulder with Nike running shoes.
