South Simcoe police have charged six teenagers after the public washrooms were damaged at the new Town Square on Innisfil Beach Road.
Police were called Wednesday night around 8 p.m., after the vandalism was reported.
The young suspects were located nearby and placed them under arrest.
As a result of the investigation, three boys and three girls from Innisfil, all of whom are 13 and 14 years old, were charged with mischief under $5,000. Their identities are protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The youths were released to their parents with a future court date.
"Damaging or defacing property belonging to another person or the public is a criminal offence. The costs of vandalism affect everyone in addition to negatively impacting public spaces created for the enjoyment of residents and visitors," police said in a news release.
"The South Simcoe Police Service will not tolerate this behaviour and we encourage residents to call us immediately if they see this type of incident."
A grand opening was held in late-January for the Town Square, which is located between Lakeside Retirement and the Innisfil ideaLAB & Library’s Lakeshore branch at 971 Innisfil Beach Rd.
The space also includes an ice-skating trail, splash pad, fire pit, and playground, as well as stage and event space.
