Representatives from Boys and Girls Club of West Georgia called LaGrange police Tuesday afternoon after someone broke into the club’s van at 115 E. Cannon St.
Club organizers told police they believe the damage and theft occurred the night before.
According to the police report, someone broke out the driver’s side window and discharged the fire extinguisher inside the van, covering the interior with white powder.
Organizers also noticed the gas cap was off of the van, but it was unknown how much, if any, gas was taken.
Police are investigating.
