Yellowknife (May 17/06) - Police are searching for several suspects following a weekend rampage that saw more than a dozen car and business windows smashed across Yellowknife.

Vandals struck 14 locations from Range Lake Road to the downtown core, most likely Friday night and early Saturday morning, said RCMP Const. Roxanne Dreilich.

A surveillance camera caught a handful of people breaking the window of a Franklin Avenue computer store, but police had not identified the suspects as of Monday afternoon.

The vandalism and reports of alcohol-fuelled parties came the same weekend of Sir John Franklin high school's graduation celebrations, but Dreilich said there was no evidence linking the incidents to grad.

"The timing is what it is," she said.

The targets included the Stanton Medical Clinic, Ecole St. Joseph School, Ruth Inch Memorial Pool, Yellowknife Curling Club, the Greenstone federal building on Franklin Avenue and several parked cars near the downtown core.

Man knocked out, robbed downtown

A man was jumped from behind, knocked unconscious and robbed May 9 while walking in the downtown core, leaving police with few clues in the search for his attacker.

The man was near Hollywood Video on 51st Avenue in the early morning hours when he was bashed on the back of the head, said Dreilich. He fell to the ground unconscious and when he woke up, his wallet was missing.

The man made it home, though Dreilich said he's not quite sure how he got there.

He did not get a look at his attacker and investigators did not have a suspect as of Monday afternoon.

Joyride ends in crash

Police are on the lookout for the driver of a stolen car that crashed into a lamp post and was abandoned early Saturday morning near Matonabee Street.

The front end of the car was damaged following the collision outside the Centre for Northern Families and police found it, engine off, a block away at around 8 a.m.

Criminal identification experts pored over the car but Dreilich said police did not yet have any suspects.
