Anti-2010 vandals hit Ottawa Royal Bank
By BOB MACKIN, 24 HOURS
Anti-Olympics vandals have expanded their campaign against VANOC's official bank and torch relay co-sponsor.
An anonymous message on no2010.com said "bricks found their way through the windows of the Elgin Street Royal Bank" in Ottawa on the night of Jan. 27. "The Olympics are set to happen in the year 2010, and we thus declare war on all the year represents and all who sponsor it!"
A Vancouver 2010 countdown clock was unveiled yesterday afternoon across from Parliament Hill.
RBC spokesman John Groves said the latest incidents were reported to police, but wouldn't discuss what measures the bank employs to keep customers and staff safe.
The Ottawa attack came just over a month after four windows were smashed on Christmas Eve at a Cook Street Royal Bank in Victoria. Vancouver vandals broke windows Dec. 8 at Commercial and First and Dec. 9 at Hastings and Nanaimo. A no2010.com message about the latter attack, in the form of a phony news release, misappropriated Groves' name.
