War Memorial Vandalized in Hants County
A war memorial in Hants County was vandalized over the weekend. RCMP say someone used a vehicle to damage the memorial outside Branch 166 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Noel on Friday night. The protective fence around the stone memorial was driven over, wreaths laid on remembrance day were torn up by tire tracks and the stone itself was pushed out of position. Police say the same vandals may be responsible for smashing windows at a building located a few kilometers away.
