Two picture windows are boarded up on a home on a quiet residential street in Val Caron. Justin Steinmann said two bricks were thrown through the window at 3:30 a.m. last Friday after his family received online threats.
"I was actually sitting up in my living room and I heard a big bang,” Steinmann said.
“I thought it was just my dog knocking something over ‘till I got up and I seen a brick on the floor. So I went outside to look around came back in the house to assess the damage there and I found a second brick through my window side by side.”
Steinmann said his stepson received messages from an Instagram account the evening before the windows were smashed belonging to someone he didn't know.
"When the police showed up there we were talking with my stepson and he had revealed there was an account sending him messages,” he said.
“They had actually told him the night before after we had gone to bed though, that they were going to wheel by our house.”
Steinmann said a knife was found about 200 metres from his home shortly after the bricks were thrown through the windows.
