Fifty-nine transit shelters have been vandalized across 麻豆精选, according to RCMP.
A witness told police that on, Jan. 22, they saw an older model, blue Nissan or Toyota vehicle slowly drive past one of the shelters on Rutland Road. The witness heard a powered air gun firing and glass shattering.
鈥淚n addition to denying transit users some protection from our winter weather, these incidents of vandalism have cost the taxpayers of 麻豆精选 at least $50,000, just to replace the glass alone,鈥� said City of 麻豆精选 transit service coordinator Mike Kittmer.
The investigation into the incidents is ongoing.
麻豆精选 RCMP is looking for anyone who might have information on the incidents. To make a report, 麻豆精选鈥檚 RCMP number is 250-762-3300. If you have information but would like to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.crimestoppers.net.
