Fredericton police say they have arrested two 20-year-old males in connection with a rash of property damage in the Skyline Acres/Forest Hill neighbourhood on Sunday night.

The two are facing numerous charges of mischief, property damage and theft, according to police release.

The pair were released on conditions, and will appear in court early in the new year.

People in the neighbourhood were especially frustrated with the type of damage, and the timing of the crimes.

Mark Cameron had his car windshield smashed Sunday night while he was parked on the street.

"I am one of many... in the area that they hit and it kind of sucks to have this happen so close to Christmas," Mark Cameron said.

"I don't know what would inspire somebody to do that but,you really need a hobby."

Cameron was in the neighbourhood visiting a friend and when he left to get into his car there was a "gaping hole" in the windshield.

"There was glass shattered everywhere, there was a fine powder of glass all over the hood, in front of it on the street, inside the car, all over the front two seats. Some of it had gone back into the back seat with a few pieces on the baby seat so that was lovely."

Police investigated several complaints

Fredericton police investigated after Mark Cameron and several others had their car windows smashed. (CBC) Alycia Bartlett, speaking for Fredericton Police, said they had received several similar complaints.

Cameron was able to get his car repaired, but says even with insurance, it was expensive.

"For a lot of people this would have been very devastating. With the deductible I ended up paying $300 out of pocket, I was not expecting this so close to Christmas so it is a bit of a downer."
