When police arrived on scene, they were told the damage to the vehicles was likely caused by a BB gun.

After conducting patrols around the area, police located three males who matched the descriptions provided. Klaussner said they were detained and searched.
A BB gun and a knife was located on an 18-year-old man, who was subsequently arrested.
“Thanks to everyone who contacted police and immediately advised them of the incident,” said Klaussner. “This enabled police to focus on a specific area and locate alleged suspects, resulting in the seizure of a BB gun and potentially preventing possible injuries or further damage.”
