The first incident of rock-throwing was reported on Sept. 12 at around 10:25 p.m. The Ontario Provincial Police said a vehicle was driving southbound on Highway 48, near Stouffville Road, in Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ont. when it was struck by a rock smashing the driver’s side headlight.

Five minutes later, at around 10:30 p.m. another vehicle driving northbound on Highway 48, near Elgin Mills, in Markham, Ont. was also struck by a rock. This damaged the vehicle’s side-view mirror, investigators said.
