Mischief is No Game

Mischief is sometimes defined as playful misbehavior, but not when the word has the characters “430 CC” following it.  Destroying or damaging the property of others is a Criminal Code offence and has consequences for the perpetrator(s).  In the past ten days, there have been 29 reported incidents of smashed glass in transit bus shelters, all across the city.  These events are under investigation, but, at this time, police have not identified a suspect or suspects.  Anyone who has information that could assist police in these investigations is asked to contact the Regina Police Service at 306-777-6500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).  Suspicious activity can also be reported to police by calling 306-777-6500.  For emergencies and crimes in progress, always call 9-1-1.
