A car sustained about $2,000 in damage after being struck by what police believe was a pellet gun in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Niagara Regional Police said officers were called to East and West Line between Grantham Townline Road and Concession 6 Road on Friday, Oct. 3, after the damage to a white 2015 Volkswagen Jetta was discovered and reported later on.
No one was hurt and the incident is not being called a shooting, “as a firearm was not involved,” said Stephanie Sabourin, spokesperson for the Niagara Regional Police Service.
She said police do not believe the car was targeted and that there is no ongoing threat to public safety.
“The circumstances remain under investigation,” said Sabourin. “This appears to have been an isolated incident.”
No suspects have been identified. Police are asking anyone who lives nearby or was driving in the area that night to check their security or dash camera footage for anything suspicious.
Anyone with information can contact police or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers of Niagara online or at 1-800-222-8477. Crime Stoppers offers cash rewards for tips that lead to an arrest.
