Vancouver police launched an investigation into the damage after images of the smashed glass began to circulate on social media Saturday evening.

No arrests have been announced in the case, and the investigation remains active.

The antique-looking clock at the corner of Cambie and Water streets was completed in 1977. It uses a combination of steam and electric power, and whistles every 15 minutes, drawing thousands of tourists every year.
