Police were on Snyder’s Road Friday morning around 8:30 a.m. as students arrived for their third day of school this year.
Police say the investigation into the property damage is pending.
In June, the Region of Waterloo green lit a speed camera program for all schools in the area.
The speed limit on Snyder’s Road is normally 60 km/h, but like most school zones, drops down to 40 km/h in between September and June from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
