Police investigating vandalism of pro-life group's billboard

Lambton OPP are investigating the vandalism of a pro-life group's billboard.

Lambton Right to Life placed the portable sign east of Watford on Confederation Line about a month ago.  Cst. Jamie Bydeley said it was vandalized Tuesday at around 10:30 p.m.

Bydeley said police don’t have any suspects at this time.  Anyone with information can contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or submit a tip online at www.sarnialambtoncrimestoppers.org.

Lambton Right to Life Chair John Lammers said repairing the billboard could cost the non-profit around $2,000.

"The panels are missing, so I guess if we could find them back, if they're not wrecked too much, we could reuse them.  But at this point, they've peeled them off and they're not there."

Lammers said it'd be great if those who removed the panels could return them.

"We'll pray for them.  These days, it seems to be a hot-button item."

Lammers said the "pro-love" sign, which was unveiled in Sarnia-Lambton about a year-and-a-half ago, was also vandalized with spray paint over the winter.
