Thompson RCMP received two reports of rocks being thrown at vehicles driving on Mystery Lake Road below Highland Tower May 28, including one that reportedly went through the driver’s windshield.

At 11:30 a.m. May 28, Thompson RCMP received a report of a rock being thrown at a vehicle. Witnesses reported seeing kids throwing the stone but no identification has been made so far.

That incident came nine hours after a driver reported having a large rock break her windshield around 2:30 a.m.

These are the second and third incidents of rocks being thrown and damaging vehicles on Mystery Lake Road reported to police in less than a week.

Roy Yaciuk told the Thompson Citizen he was driving to work on Mystery Lake Road around 5:30 a.m. May 24 when a rock flew down from the air and landed on his truck’s sunroof, smashing the glass.

“The rock was the width of a hardball or tennis ball,” Yaciuk said. “I was lucky it didn’t go through the windshield or the front of the sunroof because then it would have hit me.”

“We have received other reports of damage to vehicles in and around Thompson but are not sure if these are related,” said Manitoba RCMP media relations officer Sgt. Paul Manaigre. “Investigations are ongoing and, as always, we encourage anyone with information on these incidents to contact the Thompson RCMP or Crime Stoppers.”
