Gazebo vandalized by fireworks

A gazebo in the centre of downtown Revelstoke was damaged by vandals who set off a box of fireworks.

Calling the act juvenile, police say the damage is estimated at $1,000.

On November 6 at 1 a.m., police heard a loud noise near Grizzly Plaza and saw smoke coming from the gazebo.

A box of fireworks went up in smoke, burning a whole in the roof and destroying several lights.

Police say another box of fireworks was set off in the 400 block of 5th Street West later that evening, but did not cause any damage.

Police have brought in forensic investigators and are asking for anyone with information to contact RCMP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222 TIPS (8477).
