TORONTO—York Regional Police say there hasn’t been a case of a specific newspaper being targeted for prolonged vandalism in recent years on the scale The Epoch Times was, with the publication subjected to a months-long sabotage campaign that prevented readers from having access to copies of the newspaper.

“It definitely looked like in this particular case that the suspect, and now the accused, was specifically targeting The Epoch Times newspaper boxes,” said Constable Andy Pattenden, a spokesperson for York Regional Police.
