'Senseless': Over 20 young trees in 5 locations destroyed in Coquitlam
Erin Gorby, the city's urban forestry and park services manager, says officials hope sharing the information publicly will lead to people coming forward with information.
"I think I can speak for all of the city employees and our community when I say we are shaken and confused about this senseless vandalism. We are still puzzled about who would do this."
Anyone who witnessed the vandalism or who has video of it taking place is urged to contact police at 604-945-1550 and to quote file number 23-14581.
