Just a week into its opening in Okanagan Falls, a former Penticton pot shop has been vandalized with spray paint and smashed windows.

Jukka Laurio opened up his Herbal Green Apothecary in Okanagan Falls about a week ago, he said, with the hopes of putting to rest legal action from the City of Penticton over the Penticton location.

Until Wednesday night, he said the community has been fairly welcoming from the get-go.

Laurio said there was an opportune moment Wednesday evening, as he had yet to set up security cameras 91裸聊视频� something he was setting up on Thursday 91裸聊视频� and there was a power outage in the neighbourhood, killing the light outside.

Laurio said the RCMP can be called and there will be some extra patrols in the area, but with no cameras and no lights to illuminate the vandals at the time, he91裸聊视频檚 likely out of luck.
