27 cars damaged in Bucks County crime spree; suspects wanted

SELLERSVILLE, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Police in Bucks County are investigating a recent crime spree in which over two dozen cars were vandalized.

According to investigators in Perkasie, at least 27 vehicles were damaged in Sellersville on Tuesday night.

In just two hours, police say 32 tires were slashed and 11 windows were smashed.

For many of the victims, this incident wasn't the first time this summer that vandals damaged their vehicles.

Now, investigators believe the same suspects are responsible for these crimes.

Cindy Clark from Sellersville walked out of her house on Clymer Avenue on Tuesday morning to see her car windows bashed in.

"I said, 'No effing way, no way," Clark told Action News.

She says this is the third time this summer that her car has been damaged.

"They got the back windows first on July 14, six days later they came back and got the front passenger window, and four days later they got both driver-side windows," she recalled.

Police released a video of the incident and would like to talk to the people seen inside a dark-colored 2017 Chrysler Pacifica.

Investigators believe at least one of the suspects is a teenager, and a witness believes the teen is between 14 and 16 years old.

"We had 32 tires slashed in total, 11 windows were broken or damaged on vehicles, we also had six vehicles that had other damage from some sort of projectile with either a BB or pellet gun," said Chief Robert Schurr with Perkasie police. "We're estimating the damage now between $10,000 and $15,000."

Many residents in the area say they are frustrated by these crimes.

"I found out at 5:30 in the morning. My neighbor texted me that our tires were slashed," said Marc and Melanie Brodeur from Sellersville.

The Brodeur's neighbor's tires were also slashed.

"$1,000 in new tires, we added extra cameras because of this," said the Brodeurs.

"At $250 a pop, I can't. I'm on a limited income," added Clark.

Officials are urging the suspects to come forward and speak with police.

"We have several low-income victims that can't afford to replace tires or windows," said Schurr. "If you are responsible and have an ounce of dignity, you come in and talk to our investigators."

Officers are working with the local school district to help track down the vandals who they think could be students.

If anyone has any information or surveillance footage related to this incident, they are asked to call the police.
