Oakville home ‘severely vandalized’ with flooding costing $100K in damages

Halton police are looking for suspects responsible for “severely vandalizing” a home in Oakville last week.

Officers were called on July 22 to a house at the intersection of Hixon St. and Third Line.

The homeowners returned from a night away to find their entire house flooded and their property vandalized.

Police said the suspect(s) climbed onto the roof of the home and placed a garden hose into a vent above the attached garage and turned the water on.

It is estimated the water was running for about 18 to 20 hours, causing “massive flooding” and damage to the house costing more than $100,000.

The suspect(s) also slashed an inflatable hot tub in the backyard and cut a phone line to the house.

Police would like to speak with anyone who was in the area of Hixon St. and Third Line between 3:30 p.m. on July 21 and 1:45 p.m. on July 22, or anyone who has dash camera or surveillance footage near the intersection between those times.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to contact Det. Const. Kevin Norton at 905-825-4777 ext. 2258.
