A home in a small town just north of the Greater Toronto Area was robbed and vandalized four times in four days, sending police on the hunt for the culprits.
Ontario Provincial Police said the home in Amaranth, just west of Orangeville, was first targeted late last Friday night. At about 11 p.m., police responded to a call on County Road 11.
“The homeowners noticed a window of their garage had been smashed and approximately $600 worth of tools had been stolen from within,” police said in a news release issued Wednesday.
Police then received a second call to the same home at about 7:30 a.m. the following morning. Investigators said the victims had awoken “to find their home’s exterior and garage door covered in spray paint.”
Later on Saturday, at about 10 p.m., the homeowners again called police to report the culprits had returned, this time spray painting the front porch of the house.
The fourth call to police was received on Monday at about 1:30 p.m. Responding officers learned that an exterior door of the home had been targeted with spray paint.
Police are asking for the public’s help in tracking down those responsible for the theft and vandalism.
Anyone with information is urged to call police at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
