COLUMBUS, Ind. — The Bartholomew County Parks Department is investigating extensive  damage by vandals to newly-renovated restrooms, which were still being finished, at Anderson Falls Park.

Vandals forced open a locked door to the restrooms and vandalized the interior and exterior of the restrooms either late Monday night or early Tuesday morning, parks officials said.

The park is located off County Road 1140E near Hartsville.

Overhead Door, a Columbus company, is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the vandalism. All contacts will remain confidential, the company said.
