Shakopee police are looking for answers after a four-foot golden lion was moved from its spot at the Lions Park splash pad and vandalized last weekend, resulting in $11,000 worth of damage.
Vandals wrecked the resin lion between late May 15 and early May 16, said Jason Arras, a Shakopee police captain. It wasn t just an item that was a look-see, it was an instrumental part of the splash pad, he said. We re trying to restore the pride in the lion by finding the person or persons who did this.
