Dropping eggs on cars as they pass under an overpass was really stupid. Hours and hours of community service is called for

Investigators would also like thank residents for their assistance in this investigation. Police received a large amount of information from the public after the initial media release, and that information helped investigators immensely.

A social media video was posted on Sunday May 10, 2020.

In the video two male persons are observed on the South Service Road and were throwing objects at moving motor vehicles in the eastbound lanes of the QEW. The males are observed doing this numerous times and laughing as they attempted to hit vehicles with objects.
