The windows at a Vancouver TD Bank have been smashed for the second time in just over 30 days.
A Vancouver organization captured photos of smashed windows at the Vancouver bank branch near Gastown at Abbott and Hastings streets, located inside the old Woodward Department Store building.
Vancouver Police told Daily Hive that the incident occurred last night when a man broke multiple windows. Police also said the damage is in the tens of thousands.
“Our officers responded immediately and arrested him for mischief. The man was taken to jail and we are recommending criminal charges.”
This bank was recently targeted on September 12, when someone also went on a smashing spree.

This location is constantly being targeted & each time the windows get smashed, it is thousands of dollars in damages. What has @TDBank_US done to deserve this repeated abuse? https://t.co/NIr8AwLWit pic.twitter.com/jz8vE9aYfe
