Waterloo Region, Ontario – On September 5, 2022, at approximately 11:30 p.m., Waterloo Regional Police responded to reports of a large gathering in the area of Ezra Avenue and Clayfield Avenue in Waterloo.
Vehicles parked in the area were damaged by those present. A truck, which was parked on the street, was badly damaged.
A man was hit in the head by what is believed to be a wing mirror of a vehicle that was thrown into the air. Another man was injured after falling.
The crowd dispersed after about three hours and a street sweeper was brought in to clean up a large amount of trash and debris that was left behind.
The investigation is ongoing by members of our General Investigations Unit.
Waterloo Regional Police would like to remind the community that illegal gatherings are illegal and can lead to unsafe conditions. They also place a significant strain on police resources. If we do celebrate, we ask that individuals do so safely and legally, showing respect for each other, their neighbors and emergency service providers.
