Indiana State Police (ISP) are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the individuals responsible for vandalizing multiple state patrol cars outside an Auburn restaurant. The incident occurred while troopers were inside the establishment on State Road 8, having dinner on a Saturday night.
According to ISP, the vandals keyed the patrol cars, causing an estimated $3,000 in damages. The act of vandalism raises concerns, especially given that the troopers were on duty at the time. Taxpayers are likely to bear the financial burden of the repairs required to restore the damaged vehicles.
Law enforcement agencies often rely on community cooperation to solve such cases. The information provided by the public can be crucial in identifying and apprehending those responsible for the vandalism. Authorities encourage anyone with relevant information to come forward and assist in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
As the investigation unfolds, Indiana State Police emphasize the importance of community involvement in maintaining the safety and integrity of law enforcement vehicles and ensuring that those responsible for criminal acts are held accountable.
