  • Coquitlam RCMP looking for woman who damaged 400 vehicles

Mounties in Coquitlam, B.C., are asking for the public's help identifying a suspect who they say keyed about 400 vehicles at a car dealership in the city.

Police say that between January and April, they received three separate reports of alleged "mass car 'keying' incidents" at the Journey Chrysler dealership.

They released video footage of the suspect dragging a sharp object across the outside of the vehicles, scratching their paint.

Police say it resulted in estimated $500,000 in damage.

They have identified the suspect in the video as a white woman between 40 and 50 years old, with shoulder-length blond hair and a "heavy build."

Police say she is believed to drive a Ford Escape and are asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident or recognize the suspect to come forward.
