The Marysville Post Office, along with several downtown businesses, had numerous windows broken during the morning of Feb. 15 because of a vandal.

“He utilized a wrench to break all of the windows at the Post Office and also caused similar damage to other nearby business,” said Marysville public information officer and patrol officer TJ San Miguel.

Surveillance video caught the suspect breaking many of the windows along State Avenue in the downtown area.

The Marysville Post Office suffered a lot of the damage and the majority of its windows facing State Avenue were damage during the incident.

Numerous windows of businesses and the local post office are now boarded up as locals work to pay for new glass.

For the Marysville Post Office, the repairs will likely come at taxpayer expense.
