A Shuswap public park has been the target of vandalism.

Chase RCMP were informed about ongoing issues at the Sorrento Blind Bay Community Park on April 19, said Sgt. Barry Kennedy in a media release.

Police have learned of several occasions where park equipment was purposefully damaged. Lights have been smashed, picnic tables overturned and washrooms damaged.

Kennedy said video surveillance footage captured several people at the park between 11:30 p.m. and 3 a.m. on multiple occasions. They came to the park on foot.

Chase RCMP will increase patrols in the area, Kennedy confirmed.
