An unidentified vandal destroyed the face of pop singer Justin Bieber carved in a large sand sculpture at the New York State Fair this week. Authorities said Friday they have a partial description of the person responsible and welcome input from anyone who can provide further information on this heinous crime.
The sculpture features the faces of a number of entertainers who performed at the state fair grounds in years past. Bieber appeared in 2010. See his visage before and after demolition below. Bonnie Kristian
