PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- A family-owned garden center in Damascus is working to pick up the pieces after a vandal broke in overnight, leaving multiple pots smashed, shelves knocked over and thousands of dollars in damage.

Tony Karam, owner of Tony's Garden Center, said he received a call from his staff Friday morning alerting him of the broken pots, fertilizers thrown to the ground and more.

"I showed up a little bit later to see them," Karam told KOIN 6 News. "We all thought it was maybe a deer at first or an animal got in there. But after seeing how bad and how how much damage there was, we definitely knew it wasn't an animal."

Karam said the business remained opened that day, but that whole area had to be closed off for several hours while employees worked to clean it up. • Tony's
