Three people went on a spray-painting spree Sunday night, vandalizing a number of vehicles and buildings.

Police say that at 7 p.m. on Sunday three men from Williams Lake, for no apparent reason, walked down Oliver Street, starting near the Sandman Hotel, and spray painted several vehicles and buildings.

Thanks to some alert citizens who alerted police, the Williams Lake RCMP attended to the area and located and arrested three suspects.

The RCMP say it is not known exactly how many vehicles and buildings were damaged at this time; however, it is believed the damage would be somewhere in the low thousands of dollars range.

"The motivation for this criminal act is unknown and has to be undoubtedly one of the more senseless incidents this year that the Williams Lake RCMP have responded to," says Insp. Warren Brown of the Williams Lake RCMP in a news release. "The RCMP will be requesting Crown Counsel to approve charges of mischief against these three."
