Broken glass was still visible on the public walkway outside and littered the inside of the office.
In an email to PQB News, a representative of John’s office said they were aware of the situation and are immediately responding to have the damaged repaired.
“My constituency office was vandalized today. This is a completely unacceptable act,” said Johns. “My staff have been working hard to serve our community throughout the pandemic and ensure people have the support they need. They should not be subjected to threatening or violent behaviour at their place of work. I have reported this incident to local authorities. Criminal acts are never appropriate and will not be tolerated.”
Sgt. Shane Worth of the Oceanside RCMP said the incident was reported Tuesday morning, with no signs of entry into the building. Anyone with any information can call police at 250-248-6111.
