Police doubled the bounty for reporting a gondola cable cut in a popular Vancouver suburban tourist attraction.
The police announced on the 14th that they would raise the bounty for reporting to $500,000 when they released a late-night infrared video showing the criminal cutting the cable two years ago on the 14th.
The gondola where the incident occurred is on the peak of Mount Squamish, about an hour’s drive from Vancouver. It is a tourist attraction where you can ride a gondola to see the surrounding mountainous terrain and the coast.
The gondola cable was cut twice within a year, but the culprit is still unknown.
In August 2019, gondolas that had been suspended in the air due to cable cuts were found falling to the ground in a pile. At that time, the cable was cut sharply. It was a crime aimed at killing people.
The operator resumed operations in February 2020 after completing restoration work at a cost of 5 million dollars but reopened in May of the same year after a temporary suspension due to the corona crisis.
However, four months later, the on-site security team found the site where the cable had been cut with precision and reported it to the police.
When the same incident was repeated for the first time in a year, the police offered a bounty of $250,000 to provide clues to the investigation, but this time it was raised to $500,000.
