Documents released after freedom-of-information request shed light on serial vandalism trouble on Parkside Dr., which began in November .

Seven of those cameras form a jagged west-east line, from the Humber Bay to Woodbine Beach , that runs roughly south of Bloor St. and Danforth Ave. Those cameras, from west to east, were at Lansdowne and Whytock Aves . ; Dufferin and Waterloo Ave . The cost to repair the camera is approximately $2,000 if no internal components have been damaged.

City of Toronto says there has been no serious vandalism of speed cameras since the events covered in the report.

The city doesn't own the cameras, so any damage is Verra Mobility's problem, the city says.

Police say they don't have any suspect information but are seeking witnesses.
