The eight people charged in the vandalism spree on Hamilton’s Locke St. will be back in court at the end of the month.

On Mar 3. about 30 people vandalized the strip of businesses along the street by throwing rocks, smashing store windows and damaging vehicles.

They were carrying a sign that read: “we are the ungovernables.”

Homes and vehicles on nearby Aberdeen Ave. were also damaged.

Total damage from that night is estimated at $100,000.

After a brief court appearance Wednesday, the seven men and one woman facing charges were given another court date.

They have a pre-trial conference Sept. 28.

Of the eight people charged, six are from Hamilton, one is from London and another from Montreal.

Charged are:

31-year-old Peter Hopperton

23-year-old Jack Duckworth, from Hamilton

32-year-old Tammy Kovich from Hamilton

34-year-old Alexander Balch from Hamilton

31-year-old Matthew Lowell-Pelletier from Hamilton
