A man has been charged with causing over $1 million in damages in a vandalism spree in a rural Alberta town.
Vermilion RCMP say they received a complaint Sunday that a provincial government building and six sheriffs vehicles were damaged.
Officers arrived to find windows shattered in the building and in the vehicles, they said.
Windows in the town’s courthouse were also broken and drive-thru display screens at a nearby McDonald’s were damaged.
Alberta’s Justice Ministry said Monday on social media that the courthouse was closed until further notice as a result of the vandalism. A spokesperson for the ministry did not immediately respond to questions Tuesday.
RCMP Cpl. Brittany Pegg said roughly 30 windows were broken at the courthouse.
“We’re still trying to figure out what exactly was used and what wasn’t used,” Pegg said. “It’s some sort of object.”
Steven Bodurka, 23, was charged with several counts of mischief and breaking and entering to commit mischief. He was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.
