Red Deer RCMP are hoping the public can fill them in after a string of vandalism events throughout the city over the past three weeks.

Since Nov. 15, Mounties have received more than 20 reports of property damage in which vehicles have been vandalized by what appears to be a small pellet or BB gun pellet.

In some instances, police say, the vehicle’s body has small holes, while others have damaged windows. While it is not confirmed that the incidents are all related, RCMP say they are similar in nature.

In an effort to identify a suspect or suspects, RCMP are asking for homeowners from the following areas to share any video surveillance they may have, noting that each incident likely occurred during the early morning hours ofnthe dates listed:
