A youth is facing charges after allegedly smashing a vehicle window with a rock while it was travelling under a train bridge in Moose Jaw. Moose Jaw Police say it happened on the afternoon of Wednesday, Nov. 11, under the Manitoba Street East train bridge. In a Thursday news release, police say officers went to the area and saw a group of youth leaving the vicinity. After speaking with the group and investigating, police apprehended and charged one of the youths with mischief related to the incident. Last week, the Moose Jaw Police Service issued a public advisory on social media reminding residents that throwing rocks at vehicles is dangerous and can result in criminal mischief charges. In that post, police said they had received at least 12 reports of individuals throwing rocks at vehicles from the train bridges on the 300 block of Fairford Street East and Manitoba Street East as of Nov. 4. It added unidentified youths were seen fleeing from the scene of those incidents. Police said any connection between Thursday’s arrest and the previous incidents are under investigation.
