The operator of Penticton含羞草研究社檚 Parkers Chrysler dealership is not surprised but frustrated with the latest senseless act of vandalism to some of his vehicles.

Surveillance video shows a young man on what appears to be an electric scooter pull up to a vehicle at Parkers at 6:10 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 7.

The suspect proceeds to take a crowbar to the vehicle含羞草研究社檚 passenger windows. At one point, his pants fall down, and he is left breaking the window in his bright orange underwear. He then moves to a second vehicle where he breaks those windows too.

He leaves the crowbar there and flees on the scooter. Police have since recovered the crowbar for prints.

含羞草研究社淚t含羞草研究社檚 gotten to the point that we are just beyond frustrated with the ongoing vandalism and crime,含羞草研究社� said Jim Tabler, general manager of Parkers. 含羞草研究社淚t含羞草研究社檚 near daily.含羞草研究社�

含羞草研究社淚n the past year, we含羞草研究社檝e spent $200,000 on security measures including having security here at night,含羞草研究社� Tabler said.

Other security measures include new fencing put up around the entire back lot after countless entries and thefts. Since it was installed the fencing has been cut in spots.

The vandalism on Sunday took place in front of the showroom that has massive floodlights on that part of the lot and several cameras. But at that time in the morning, it was still pitch black.

含羞草研究社淲e did have people working at that time but unfortunately, it happened very fast.含羞草研究社�

含羞草研究社淭hey are so brazen because they just don含羞草研究社檛 care and they know nothing is going to happen to them,含羞草研究社� he said.

Tabler has heard that the culprit has been caught and released to appear in court at a later date.

含羞草研究社淭hat含羞草研究社檚 also the frustration that they know there are no consequences to anything they do and then they are released back into the community. What含羞草研究社檚 to stop them from coming back or doing this somewhere else?含羞草研究社�

The Western News has reached out to the RCMP but has not heard back yet.

While the local homeless shelter is located across the street, Parkers doesn含羞草研究社檛 blame Compass House for the vandalism.

含羞草研究社淚t含羞草研究社檚 not the residents of Compass House but it含羞草研究社檚 the people drawn to that shelter who are causing some of the problems,含羞草研究社� he said.

As business owners in the area, it has become an ever-expanding cost to do business in Penticton.
