Suspect charged in Cenotaph mischief

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 11 Aug, 2023 03:42 PM
  • Suspect charged in Cenotaph mischief

A 42-year-old man has been charged with mischief over an incident at the Cloverdale Cenotaph in Surrey more than five months ago.

R-C-M-P say the suspect was arrested on July 18th over an incident in which the cenotaph's statue of a kneeling soldier was dismantled.

The Mounties say their investigation also led them to charge the suspect over another incident where cameras were damaged outside a Surrey business on the same night in March.

He's set to appear in court next month.
