Premier John Horgan says violent attack on a Coastal GasLink pipeline work camp 'reprehensible'

Premier John Horgan says the violent attack on a Coastal GasLink pipeline work camp outside Houston in northern BC is ``reprehensible.''

Horgan has issued a statement saying the damage and destruction are disturbing and the R-C-M-P are conducting a thorough investigation to find those responsible.

The premier also says his thoughts are with workers who were traumatized and an R-C-M-P officer who was injured in yesterday's pre-dawn incident.

The Mounties say about 20 people reportedly attacked security guards and damaged property, and ``smoke bombs'' and flaming sticks were hurled at police called to the scene.
