A pharmacy in Cambridge appears to have been vandalized by an anti-vaxxer for a second time.

Waterloo Regional Police say the latest incident occurred sometime overnight between Oct. 19 and Oct. 20 when a rock was again thrown through a front window of the Cambridge Medical Pharmacy.

The pharmacy posted security footage of the incident on its website which shows a person on a bicycle pulling a trailer throwing something at the building as they ride past.

“Same things has happened again yesterday October 19th and have broken the same window,” the Facebook post notes.
