Police arrest 3 people, looking for 3 more in Locke Street vandalism investigation

Hamilton have arrested three more people in connection with a spree of vandalism on Locke Street and have warrants out for three more.

The arrests come after a mob of masked vandals dressed in black and carrying a banner declaring themselves the "Ungovernables" ran rampant through the Kirkendall neighbourhood on March 3. They set off fireworks, damaged vehicles and hurled rocks at store windows, causing an estimated $100,000 in damage.
