The Lacombe Police Service is investigating after heavy construction equipment was damaged near the Gary Moe Auto Group Sportsplex.

Police say on July 14 they received a report that the windows of two excavators and a front end loader were damaged while parked in a construction zone on 53 Street.

Police say the equipment was intact on July 12 and the damage was found on the morning of July 14.

Police say initial observations suggest the damage was done by a “small projectile.” After attending the scene, police confirmed that the driver’s side windows on all three machines were damaged, with one completely shattered.
