The Shelby Township Police Department is currently on the hunt for an elusive vandal or vandals after a string of car windshield bashings has left residents on edge. According to CBS News Detroit, the disturbances, which span over the last two weeks, have been concentrated around the area of 24 Mile and Schoenherr roads, though no specific locations have been disclosed. The department is now soliciting the public's assistance, urging anyone with any information to step forward.
The call-to-action extends to requests for video footage that might shed light on who is behind these acts of vandalism and, to rally community vigilance, Shelby Township Police Department took to their Facebook page to amplify their plea, echoing the sentiment of concern felt by affected citizens. Detective Gibbs of the Shelby Township Police has been designated as the point of contact and can be reached at 586-731-2121 ext. 367 or via email at [email protected] for those looking to provide any potentially valuable information.
Recent social media reactions have been quick to spread the word of the investigation, with numerous shares amplifying the police's search for information. Meanwhile, according to WWJ Newsradio 950, parallels have been drawn to similar incidents that reportedly took place in Macomb Township about a week prior, suggesting a potential pattern or link between the outbreaks of vandalism. A flurry of social media users have responded to an image posted by the department showing a white vehicle severely damaged—a visual testament to the severity of the criminal activity.
