MISCHIEF CAUSES WATER DAMAGE AT LOCAL APARTMENT BUILDING

Investigation revealed that between January 27, 2009 at 11:00 p.m. and January 28, 2009 at 5:30 a.m. unknown person(s) attended the third floor of an apartment building at 22 Mississauga Avenue. The culprit(s) turned the water valve of the fire hose mounted on a wall. This caused pressure to build up and activated the release of the valve thus releasing water.
