LUMBY – RCMP are hoping a tip from the public will help solve a vandalism case at a controversial road building site near Cherryville in the north Okanagan.
On January 15th, someone cut a lock on a fence and then pulled wires and damaged switches and relays on an excavator belonging to Deverell Contracting from Kamloops. \
Damage is pegged at about $2500.
Lumby RCMP Corporal Henry Proce says “Someone was trying to make a point I suppose.”
He’s referring to opposition in the community to the road building which will provide access to logging sites.
Some people fear the industrial activity will cause destructive landslides.
Proce says a motion activated game camera captured images of people in the area but a suspect wasn’t identified.
He’s asking people with information to contact the Lumby RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers.
