Police are asking for help finding the vandals who destroyed downtown art
MEDICINE HAT – Medicine Hat Police are asking the public for help in identifying who vandalized the artwork recently painted in the pedestrian tunnel downtown.
Investigators say sometime between Monday June 18th and Tuesday June 19th, one or more people used spray paint to scrawl hateful messages all over the murals.
“It’s a despicable, foolish, criminal act,” said Inspector Joe West. “A great deal of energy has gone into beautifying our downtown to make it feel safe and certainly when somebody comes and vandalizes a piece of artwork, it’s terrible.”
