Storefront and car windows were smashed in a destructive rampage that led to more than 30 reports of vandalism since the weekend in Long Beach.
On 15th Street, residents awoke Tuesday to find their vehicle windows shot out by someone who used a BB gun. Similar cases were reported around the East Division Naples area and other neighborhoods, including Belmont Shore.
"I was just going to sleep and I heard (the) loud roaring of of an engine going through the street," resident Jason Apple said, "(Then I) hear everyone talking in the middle of the night, (I) come outside and everybody's mad because their windows have been shot out."
It comes days after the windows and windshields of more than 20 vehicles in Torrance, Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach were damaged. That incident happened in the early hours of Jan. 26. Long Beach PD spokeswoman Sgt. Megan Zabel said there is a possibility the cases are linked.
The vehicle involved in Monday night’s vandalism was described as a four-door black or blue Honda Civic with a spoiler and chrome tail pipes.
Any other victims or anyone with information is asked to contact Long Beach PD on 562-435-6711.
