RCMP have released more details about a suspect linked to the deliberate cutting of the huge cable supporting the Sea-to-Sky gondola in Squamish.
The attacks, in 2019 and 2020, sent all the cars on the nearly five-kilometre long cable crashing to the ground.
Sergeant Chris Manseau says police haven't identified the suspect but have shared a photo and want to charge the person with mischief endangering life, because the falling cable in 2020 narrowly missed a security guard who was underneath the gondola line when the cable was cut.
Sea-to-Sky Gondolas has also doubled its reward to 500,000 dollars for information that could lead to the conviction of a person Manseau describes as extremely fit, knowledgeable about the area and familiar with tools needed to cut the thick metal cable while avoiding personal injury.
