Vandals who smashed Hamilton shop windows planned ahead, police say
The masked vandals who caused up to $100,000 in damage in Hamilton on Saturday night were organized and likely planned their actions ahead of time, police said Monday.
Around 30 people assembled in a city park before marching down a busy street, hurling rocks through shop windows and at people’s homes, police said.
“We know this is not a spontaneous act committed by these people,” Insp. Paul Hamilton said. “This was very well planned, very well executed.”
Members of the group carried a banner with them that read, “We are the ungovernables.”
