York police say 2 males now facing charges after rocks thrown at vehicles
Two males are now facing charges linked to rocks being thrown at moving vehicles in the Markham and Whitchurch-Stouffville areas in recent months, York Regional Police say.
Investigators had repeatedly warned the public about these incidents stretching back to last summer, including one incident that caused a crash that sent two people to hospital in life-threatening condition, as well as another where a GO Transit bus was hit.
In a news release issued Friday, police said two males are now facing charges linked to rock throwing. An 18-year-old from Markham faces two charges of mischief under $5,000, while a 17-year-old from Markham faces a single mischief charge.
Police did not specify which specific incidents these charges are linked to, but did say the investigation is ongoing and they expect more charges may be laid.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
