VERMILION – Mounties say a man has been charged with causing over $1 million in damages in a vandalism spree in a rural Alberta town.
Vermilion RCMP say officers received a complaint Sunday that a provincial government building and six sheriffs vehicles were damaged.
They say officers arrived to find windows shattered in the building and in the vehicles.
Windows in the town’s courthouse were also broken and drive-thru display screens at a nearby McDonald’s were damaged.
Alberta’s Justice Ministry says on social media that the courthouse is closed until further notice as a result of the vandalism.
The 23-year-old accused faces charges of mischief and break-and-enter and has been remanded into custody.
Vermilion is about 195 kilometres east of Edmonton.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 8, 2025.
