Staff members at the Regina German Club are still in disbelief after their new A/C unit was destroyed.
"It was all dismantled here and presumably taken that way,” said Kerri Van Loosen, the club manager.
It happened on Wednesday when workers were trying to install the unit. The machine they were using was not strong enough to hold the unit, so they decided to stop the work and pick things back up on Thursday.
In a matter of hours, the unit was broken by unknown vandals.
"It was new to us, it was a second hand one but none the less was going to suit our purposes. This is definitely a big set back for us,’ said Van Loosen.
"These people that did it to me acted like scavengers, they were in and out. They scoped and had a plan of action ready."
Unfortunately, security footage does not show the attackers clearly, but management believes it was trashed for the metals within the unit.
Federal cabinet ministers Filomena Tassi, Carla Qualtrough, and Dan Vandal announced Thursday they will not run for re-election. Senior government sources tell CTV News at least one other – Marie-Claude Bibeau – doesn't plan to run again, setting the stage for Justin Trudeau to shuffle his cabinet in the coming weeks.
