A plane at Vernon’s airport incurred thousands of dollars of damage by three people who broke in last month.

In a press release issued Tuesday, Vernon RCMP said at around 11 p.m. on April 20, the trio climbed over a perimeter security fence and onto the airfield at the Vernon Regional Airport.

“Once inside, the trio accessed and climbed in and out of several of the aircraft on the ground which resulted in several thousand dollars worth of damages to one of them,” Const. Chris Terleski said in the media release.
