A vandal hacking away at vending machines with a pickaxe on school campuses in Santa Clarita has cost a local business owner more than $75,000 between money stolen from the machines and the cost of parts and repairs.
According to Lisa Burke, who owns and operates Santa Clarita Concessions, a company her father founded 69 years ago, the vandal began mauling her machines on Dec. 23 and remains on the loose.
