Company officials are still tallying the damage after vandals smashed trailers and destroyed another building at the Tri-Gil quarry on the Gorge Road in Moncton Tuesday night or early yesterday.
A company spokesman said vandals took one of Tri-Gil’s heavy duty payloaders, which features a 13-foot wide bucket, to do the damage.
“When we left at five O’clock on Tuesday, everything was fine. When we came back (in the morning), it was a mess,” the spokesman said yesterday.
Trailers were damaged and the scale house, full of computers used for weighing truck loads leaving the crushed stone quarry, was lifted off its eight-foot foundation and destroyed.
The company is offering a $10,000 reward to anyone who can provide information that leads to a conviction.
Police have visited the scene and have told the company the payloader was discovered with its door open, but there was no evidence left behind by the vandals.
Yesterday’s snowstorm hampered operations, but the site will be cleaned up today.
