Powell River RCMP received a report of mischief at École Côte du Soleil. Through investigation, it was learned that an unknown person(s) had spray-painted graffiti on the playground equipment and also attempted to set the playground equipment on fire, causing considerable damage. Garbage was also left behind, including empty beer cans and smashed glass bottles, which created a safety hazard for students. RCMP urge the public to report any suspicious groups who may be congregating in public places such as schools at night. This type of behaviour can often cost schools a considerable amount to clean up and often cause significant safety hazards for unsuspecting children who utilize playgrounds during school hours.
