Suspects vandalize historic Warnors Theatre in Downtown Fresno

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Police are looking for the suspects who vandalized the historic Warnors Theatre in downtown Fresno.

Owners arrived Sunday to find broken glass in front of the theatre and box office. The glass is virtually irreplaceable because of its original etching that dates back to the 1920s.

It's the second time that the booth's glass has been shattered in the theatre's history.

"That's what's so heartbreaking it's just no respect or care for other people's property or of anything that's of significance or historic value," Sally Caglia with the theatre said. "To some people, it just doesn't mean anything, and that just breaks my heart."

Board members say the entire box office booth would need to replaced but are worried because of the amount it's going to cost.
