METRO Vancouver Transit Police are currently investigating an increase in vandalism to bus shelters across several municipalities including Burnaby, New Westminster, and Surrey.

On February 2, Transit Police were notified by Coast Mountain Bus Company that a number of bus shelters had been vandalized along 152 Street, between 26 Avenue and 86 Avenue in Surrey. Fourteen bus shelters were located with their glass shattered by what is believed to be a small projectile.
