THREE RIVERS, Mich. (WOOD) — Police are investigating what they’re calling “malicious destruction of property” after a bookstore’s glass door was shattered recently in downtown Three Rivers.
The store’s owner and the founder for the city’s Pride festival said they are worried there’s more to the case.
On the morning of Sept. 20, Tom Lowry and his bookstore staff say they found that one of the side doors was left shattered.
“Our very first customer, after she checked out said, ‘I’m sorry about your window,’ and so we all walked outside to look at it,” said Lowry.
The splintered glass obscured the poster for the Netflix show “Heartstopper,” a comedy drama with a gay teen couple as a major part of the plot.
Lowry said the team then posted about the incident on their Facebook page.
“We at Lowry’s are very sad to see our store damaged due to hatred. We as a bookstore spread love and diversity and will not stop doing such,” the post read.
