HURRICANE, Utah — Authorities are investigating a vandalism report at a helicopter touring company in southern Utah that left thousands of dollars in damage.

At about 9 a.m. Saturday, Hurricane police received a report of vandalism at Zion Helicopters, according to a press release from Hurricane police.
