Two downtown businesses have recently been the victim of vandalism in the Town of Huntsville.
On May 31, Huntsville OPP tweeted that they were investigating damages to a food truck by Huntsville’s waterfront.
While today, June 8, Main Street Local Kitchen took to social media to explain that the restaurant is closed due to vandalism, and urged anyone with information to contact police.
“To the folks who felt the need to break into our restaurant, we are sorry you are struggling. If you needed help, we could have offered you a job,” stated the restaurant on its Facebook page.
“To the folks walking by the resto and wondering why we are closed, we are cleaning and repairing the damage of vandalism. We are sorry for the inconvenience and we hope to recover in the next day or two. Neighbours, we are posting this as well to keep you informed/warned. If anyone has any information we urge you to call the OPP, with sincere thanks. See you soon.”
Anyone with information about these specific acts of vandalism, or any others they’re aware of, is asked to call 1-888-310-1122.

Vandalism seems be becoming an everyday event. It won’t be long before the annual “let’s rip out all the flowers planted around town” takes place. Sad that we have so many morons running around town these days. Oh well, if the police manage to catch them, I am sure the court system will give them a stern warning. I think it’s time to bring back the stocks and we can all throw rotten eggs at them and then make them pay for the damage they caused.
Perhaps the OPP could start doing regular patrols at night?
Don’t we pay enough for policing that increased visibility of law enforcement would deter this?
Consider an overnight curfew for certain age groups?
I think I would be inclined to install an alarm system with
cameras. Even a motion sensor alarm would do the job.
If caught the vandals will receive a slap on the wrist with our revolving
door court system.
Our OPP have enough to do without this childish nonsense!
