The Wake Forest Police Department is asking for the public’s help identifying the person or people responsible for vandalizing the restrooms at E. Carroll Joyner Park.

Police said late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, someone used rocks and other items to shatter glass doors, mirrors, clog toil​ets and smash sinks.

On Sunday morning, the police department posted pictures of the damage on its Facebook page.

“I’m disgusted that someone would so callously destroy the restrooms at our flagship park,” Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Director Ruben Wall said in a written statement. “This malicious act will not be taken lightly.”

Wall said the town will spend thousands of dollars to repair the damaged restrooms, which will remain closed while repairs are made.

Anyone with information about the vandalism is asked to call the Wake Forest Police Department at 919-554-6150. Callers may remain anonymous.
