On July 13, 2009, Brandon RCMP received a complaint of vandalism to 35 vehicles on a farm located along Waggle Springs Road in the RM of Cornwallis.

The subjects had broken into a shed by prying open the outer door. Once inside the shed they used a baseball bat to smash the windshields of three convertible cars that were being restored.

Behind the shed there were a number of vehicles parked and investigation revealed that these subjects then used a tool of some sort, along with a cinder block and a baseball bat to smash the windshields, headlights, side mirrors and some dash boards of 32 of these vehicles. It is estimated that $32,000 dollars damage was done to the glass on these vehicles.

From tracks that were left at the scene, it is believed that the subjects were in a smaller pickup truck or car.

The damage to these vehicles was done sometime between July 5 and July 13, 2009.

Anyone with information to this crime is asked to either contact the Brandon RCMP Detachment at 204-726-7522 or Manitoba Crime Stoppers.
