A movie theatre in Oakville, Ont., is counting its losses after two men made their way into two cinemas and cut the screens while people watched a movie in one of them.
Halton police said the incident happened just after 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 23 at Film.Ca Cinemas on Speers Road.
"The two males entered the theatre and proceeded to slash two cinema screens," Const. Steve Elms wrote in an email to CBC News.
Elms said the damage amounts to approximately $4,500.

Risk for wildfires in N.S. remains high, says incident commander Following a massive fire in Yarmouth last week, a spokesperson from Nova Scotia's Natural Resources Department says the "spring dip" — when trees force water into their new growth, leaving their cores dry — increases the chance of forest fires in the province. Anam Khan has the story.

Taking painkillers to treat inflammation could lead to chronic pain, research suggests New research suggests treating acute pain with anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, could have an unintended effect: increasing the chances of developing chronic pain.
One man is wearing a red hoodie while the other is dressed in blue.
The men made their way into an auditorium where one of them was seen dragging a sharp object across the bottom of the projection screen before leaving.
One person can be seen following the pair out of the auditorium but the suspects ran into an empty theatre and slashed another screen. They then used a street exit to escape.
Patrons are enraged
Harris Bailey said the incident has left him and the few others inside the small theater "enraged," and they want to see the suspects identified and held responsible for the damage.
Bailey said the theater is known locally for being a major supporter of the local arts scene.
As police continue their investigation, they are asking anyone with information to contact 905-825-4777 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
