We will remind you that the mayor spoke emotionally about the incident and called the vandals «dumb» and «stupid».

Last year, a resident of Mykolaiv, who damaged the equipment in the middle of the stop-shelter on Sobornii Street, was issued an administrative report. Then the vandal damaged not only the surveillance camera, but also the electrical installation cabinet and metal sleeve.

It was also reported that unknown persons destroyed four more plastic containers for collecting household waste in Mykolaiv. Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych called on eyewitnesses to report similar incidents to the police.
