Vandalism, theft hits two Bigfork businesses

By ALEX STRICKLAND Bigfork Eagle

Two windows were broken in downtown Bigfork last week and 200 lottery tickets were taken from the Your Turn Convenience Store at Streeter's Corner.

In a stretch of four days, two different windows were smashed at Bigfork Bay Gifts on the Corner of Electric Avenue and River Street.

The property also suffered from a broken window in mid-summer this year.

The guilty party in one of last week's vandalisms has come forward, according to Bigfork Bay Gifts, and has agreed to pay for the damage. The other individual is unknown.

Beyond the price of replacing the windows is the hassle of cleaning up the glass that littered the floor afterwards, a spokesman from the store said.

In a separate incident, two rolls of 100, $1 lottery tickets were discovered missing from the Your Turn Convenience Store. Flathead County Sheriff Mike Meehan said there were no leads at this time, but the department was investigating.
