In addition to the fire, vandals also ripped off the power meter off a Kelowna business owner's wall not once this week, but twice.

“In one week, I’ve had the power meter pulled off twice and a fire,” said Don Blevens, the owner of Baby And Me.Fire crews managed to put it out but not before smoke seeped into the building, causing a lot of smoke damage in his storage full of merchandise.

Blevens believes the vandalism spree is retribution for recently installed speakers playing unpleasant and jarring sounds, in an effort to deter loitering and the mess it brings with it, including needles, garbage and humane waste.Get breaking National news “And my customers, we hear from customers all the time, we’re not coming back….We take care of customers at their most vulnerable state, they’re pregnant, they have newborns, they have babies, they have kids running around.”Baby And Me has been in its current location near the Orchard Plaza Shopping Centre for almost a decade.
