A Tacoma donut shop is cleaning up after it was vandalized.
On Friday, crews from TN Glass and Windows came in to fix the broken window.
Repairing it would have cost the owner about $2,000, but with the community's help, it was free.
"They had a break right before Christmas, as a local business we kind of wanted to help out and pay it forward, then giving them a chance to spend that money on other things such as their own family," said Joshua Fairburn with TN Glass and Windows.
The teens who broke the window remain unidentified. If you have any information, contact Tacoma Police.
