LYNDONVILLE, Vt. (AP) – A vandal was caught on videotape trying to smash the windows of a village police cruiser.
Despite repeated blows, the windows on the police car stayed intact.
But the glass in at least 15 other vehicles wasn’t as strong, police said.
“Luckily the vandals attempted to strike the Lyndonville Police Department and were caught on video tape,” Harris said in a Saturday statement.
The assault on the police cruiser was part of a spree that saw 15 car windows smashed in the village along with several mailboxes early Saturday morning, said police chief Jack Harris.
The video shows a male Caucasian approach swinging a long stick at the passenger window of the cruiser, breaking the stick, but not the window. He then tries to use the broken stick to spear the window. The incident lasted less than a minute.
On Monday, Harris said they had several suspects in the case, but no arrests had been made.
Harris said nothing was stolen from any of the cars that were damaged.
The suspect is a white male, 18 to 25, with light-colored hair and a small mustache or goatee.
