The crimes were committed on Wednesday evening between 7:30 and 7:45 p.m. Someone fired several pellets into his Dodge Journey, which was parked on 11th Avenue North, near the intersection of Sainte-Famille Street.
The driver’s side window was shattered. The one behind it was pierced. He also noticed impact marks on the lighting on his rear window and on the tailgate.
Other similar events occurred Thursday evening in the eastern part of Sherbrooke and downtown.
The windows of several bus stops were smashed. A window in the government building at 200 Belvédères Nord was also damaged.
