On July 13, 2017 at 12:00 p.m. a 20-year old man was seen defacing property at a business on Notre Dame Street in Greater Sudbury. He used a pink paint marker to write the word “REHAB”. While doing so, the man was approached by a concerned citizen and he proceeded to take a swing at the citizen. Police were called and the man fled the scene. He was apprehended shortly after in the yard of a residence on Dell Street.
We would like to thank the members of the community who assisted in his apprehension by providing detailed information to Officers when they arrived on scene. The 20-year old from Greater Sudbury has been charged with Assault and Mischief.
He will appear in Court on August 23, 2017. The Greater Sudbury Police Service is seeking the Public’s assistance to determine if this was a one-time event or whether the man has been involved in similar occurrences within Greater Sudbury. The Graffiti tag is fairly large and spells the word “REHAB”.
