The RCMP in Port Saunders are looking for information after a chainsaw was used to take apart a bridge on the Northern Peninsula.

A provincially-owned bridge on a section of Squid Cove resource road, near Castor River South, was vandalized overnight Tuesday.

Someone used a chainsaw to remove stringers and decking from the bridge.

The provincial Forestry and Agrifoods Agency has had to close the bridge to avoid its collapse.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
