Police in Bucks County say vandals damaged dozens of cars and many drivers are out hundreds of dollars for repairs. Police say the vandals struck in Sellersville and residents are frustrated.
"I’m wondering who could have done this and why," said Diehl, who would soon find out she wasn't the only victim.
"27 total vehicles were damaged. We had 32 tires that were slashed, 11 windows either broken or damaged and we had six additional vehicles that had some damage to them consistent with either a pellet or a BB," said Perkasie Borough Police Chief Robert Schurr. They also cover Sellersville Borough, where the crimes happened. Chief Schurr says surveillance video from eight streets in the borough captured a minivan which they believe is a dark gray 2017 to 2020 Chrysler Pacifica with two people inside. Police say a witness reported seeing a teen believed to be 14 to 16 years old getting in and out of the vehicle. Police say the incidents happened between 3:55 and 4:30 the morning of Tuesday August 22nd.
"I had to take a day off from work. It cost me a $1,000 to replace my tires. It's going to cost my neighbor brand-new tires. So, it's just frustration," said Marc Brodeur. Police estimate the damage to be $10,000 to $15,000 based on reports received. They're asking anyone with surveillance video to check for anything related to the car vandalism. Police say whoever did this is facing felony charges.
