Vandalism rampage spreads as bus shelters smashed across GTA

Police are looking for suspects after sixteen glass bus shelters in Scarborough and thirteen in Pickering and Ajax were smashed over the long weekend.

Toronto police said they were alerted to the spate of destruction in Scarborough shortly after midnight and found shelters destroyed along Sheppard Avenue, from Morningside Avenue to McCowan Road.

It appears the glass shelter walls were destroyed with a projectile, but police were unable to say whether the weapon was a rock, firearm or something else.

The windows of one TTC bus were also destroyed in the spree, police said.

Investigators from the Scarborough area said they received reports of a silver car in the area, but are still working on identifying suspects.

Durham Regional Police said in a statement that the damage in Pickering occurred in the area of Oklahoma Drive near Whites Road, as well as Kingston Road between Fairport and Brock Roads.
