The Township of McNab-Braeside is appealing to the public for help following a recent string of vandalism.
“Over the past few weeks, there has been an increase of vandalism at our beautiful parks. If you see vandalism happening call 911,” reads a social media post.
Most recently, in the early morning hours of May 1, two picnic tables were lit on fire, a vehicle tore up the grass, a fire was left unattended and several Twisted Tea cans were left behind at Red Pine Bay in Braeside. Also, sometime between April 26 and 28, a truck tore up the grass at Red Pine Bay.
At White Lake Park on April 26, a truck drove across the field and damaged the grass.
On April 23 around 5:30 p.m., a dark grey pickup knocked a sign down at Waba Cottage Museum and Gardens.
And finally, between April 5 and 7, a truck drove across the field and tore up the grass at Dochart Park. In this case, a neighbour reported a small Ford Ranger with a light on the roof.
Officials say these acts are malicious and they’d like to hear from anyone with information on the incidents.
