Vehicle Vandals Hit Dallas Neighborhood

A Dallas neighborhood is looking for answers after a string of cars were vandalized for a second weekend. It happened near Joe Pool Lake along Sugarleaf Lane and Winecup Ridge.

"There was like glass right here and right here and it was still on the window," said Dallas resident Dorine Lowery.

Duct tape and a trash bag have temporarily replaced Lowery's back driver's side window. She woke up Saturday morning to find someone shattered the window overnight.

"I was mad. I was upset. I just didn't know what to do," said Lowery. "How could this happen."

Even more shock set in as she realized she wasn't the only victim.

"My uncle told me to look up the street and then we seen another car," she said.

Nenad Vukovic and his father woke up this morning to find their windshield smashed up as well.

"Last night, around 12, I heard something outside and it was just like a noise, like a cracking noise," said Vukovic. "But I didn't know.  I thought it was coming from another direction."

It may have. The windows and windshields of about five different cars in the neighborhood were either smashed in with a rock or shot out with what appeared to be a BB gun pellet.

"I can't spend an extra 50 bucks or however much it costs to fix this if they're just going to come by and smash it again," said Savanah Fletcher, who lives in the neighborhood. Her vehicle was not hit overnight, but last week.

"Someone must have driven by with a rock and hit it because there was a huge rock about a couple feet away from it," she said.  "I came out and was like ahh."

While no one knows who's responsible for the damage, residents in the targeted neighborhood have a message for their elusive vandal.

"Find a better hobby," said Fletcher. "[Not] busting out our windshields because I can't afford this."

Residents hope police increase patrols in their neighborhood to prevent the vandalism from happening again.
