Graffiti Hits Historic Royal Theatre | Vancouver News

A massive, hard-to-reach graffiti tag has hit Victoria’s historic Royal Theatre, costing thousands to remove and damaging newly restored 1913 brickwork. Police suspect a vandals rappelled down from the roof after the August long weekend, linking it to a string of similar incidents. The theatre’s exec director says cleanup is complex due to location and method constraints, with plans to collaborate with the CRD once other restoration work wraps up. Authorities are urging anyone with info on tags “JOKE,” “VANIK,” or “FORLO” to come forward — anonymously if needed — to help solve this costly vandalism against a cherished landmark.
