Holiday Vandals Trash Building at Community College in Canada
Students at the Lawrencetown campus of Nova Scotia Community College are sifting through debris today to identify their belongings after vandals trashed the college’s Centre for Geographic Sciences over the holidays, causing up to 100,000 Canadian dollars’ worth of damage. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has arrested three teenagers in connection with the vandalism, according to CBC News. Lawrencetown is about 80 miles west of Halifax.
The Mounties said the vandals had broken into the building, found some baseball bats and “started swinging.” They smashed windows, computers, and lockers. Broken glass covered the lockers’ contents, which were strewn all over the building. College officials said cleanup crews had been working for two days to get the building ready for classes and make it safe enough for students to identify what is theirs. —Karen Birchard
