The operator of Pentictonsa国际传媒檚 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 vehiclesa国际传媒檚 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.

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.

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 doesnsa国际传媒檛 blame Compass House for the vandalism.
