BANGOR, Maine — Random acts of vandalism around the city of Bangor have prompted police to investigate and seek the public's assistance in locating suspects.
Bangor Police Sgt. Wade Betters said the department believes more than one person is responsible for breaking several windows in Bangor.
Projectiles appear to have been used to break car windows along with private residences' windows and some businesses as well, Sgt. Betters said.
Specific details regarding the incident locations were not released but the owner of Bangor Wine and Cheese Company says he fell victim to the vandalism Sunday night.
A new, custom-made window has to be replaced right out front of his Hammond Street business.
"I do believe there are probably some folks out there that are unaware of the damage yet," said Sgt. Betters. "Some people may have seen it and simply have not called to report it and if you do have damage like that, I would encourage you to give us a call and let us know so we can add that to our list because as I said earlier, we're going to continue to investigate this."
Sgt. Betters said there have been at least 20 acts of vandalism in the city over the past several days, however, no one has been injured and no firearms are believed to have been used in any of the incidents.
Police released a photo of a vehicle that may be related to their investigation — a maroon/red-colored SUV that appears to be a GMC Envoy.
Anyone who recognizes the vehicle or has any other information is asked to contact Bangor Police Detective Dustin Dow at 207-947-7384, or email him at dustin.dow@bangormaine.gov. Option No. 5 is the anonymous tip line.
Police said they're also interested in any related video or photos from the public.
