Swing sets at five different playgrounds in the City of Abbotsford, B.C. have been vandalized over the last three months, and police there are asking the public for help in finding the perpetrators.
The first incident was discovered on May 19 at Larch Park on Stewart Crescent, Abbotsford police said in a news release. Chains on both sides of a swing at that park were partially cut, "creating the potential for injury," police said.
Then, on July 7, suspects climbed to the top of the swing set at Mill Lake Park off Emerson Street. They disconnected all of the swing set hardware, wrapped the chain around the top bar, and then reattached the hardware, police said. Finally, on July 13, suspects cut out a large portion of the seat on the toddlers' swing at Robert Bateman Park, according to police.
The damage at all of the playgrounds has since been repaired, and police said there have been no injuries as a result of the vandalism.
