Acts of vandalism continue to frustrate local residents and authorities.
A person or persons, probably sometime over the past weekend, defaced property along Castlegar’s Millennium Walkway and Zuckerberg Island, leaving their spray painted marks in numerous locations.
Police, civic personnel and the public are repeatedly irritated by this kind of act and closer cooperation in identifying culprits is one of the best ways to counteract it.
Sgt. Laurel Mathew of Castlegar RCMP indicated the detachment has been “receiving public tips on who may be responsible for spray painted tags featuring the word ‘soft’ with a heart underneath that have been seen along the walkway in recent months.”
The Sergeant stressed the point that public input is required for effectively dealing with the problem of vandalism.
