Police Want Details On Graffiti, Slashed Tires
The reported damage included both tires being slashed and graffiti spray-painted across the driver’s side of the vehicle. Because the car was unoccupied, the incident appears to have been a property-damage case rather than a confrontation involving anyone inside the vehicle.
No arrests or motive have been announced. Police have also not released the identities of the vehicle owner or described what the graffiti said.
