Charges laid in 2022 Fernie Aquatic Centre mischief
Elk Valley RCMP report an arrest has been made after an investigation into a 2022 spree of vandalism at the Fernie Aquatic Centre.
Aden Shatalow-Dominick, 22-years-old, has been charged with Mischief over $5,000 in connection with the mischief caused to the Fernie Aquatic Centre on October 29, 2022.
On the morning of October 29, 2022, officers attended the Fernie Aquatic Centre on Pine Avenue following a report of extensive damage to the building, which rendered the swimming pool unusable.
Police investigation revealed that broken windows on the upper level had caused rocks and glass to fall into the pool, necessitating significant repairs and cleanup efforts.
The incident severely impacted the Fernie community, cancelling the swim meet and preventing residents from accessing the pool facilities. The estimated costs associated with the damage, including window repair, pool cleaning, and equipment maintenance, exceeded $30,000.
“The Elk Valley RCMP extends its gratitude to the community of Fernie for their patience throughout this investigation,” stated S/Sgt. Svend Nielsen, Detachment commander.
