GREEN BAY (WLUK) — Another round of vandalism is in the area. This time, several cars were bruised using dump paint in Green Bay. It goes after other incidents, including stolen lawn ornaments and harm to mailboxes.

Joe Walton woke up Monday morning when he heard his gf weeping about the obscene words dump painted on her car.

“Nothing ever happens around here and then all of the unexpected, they embark on this rampage,” Walton said.

Shortly after witnessing that harm, Walton’s gf noticed their neighbor’s car was also bruised. Walton said the police came to talk to neighbors.

“Officer Wright, I asked her well how many vehicles? And she says, well right now it’s up to twenty,” Walton said.

Captain Kevin Warych with the Green Bay Police Department said eight of the incidents were reported in the one thousand four hundred block of Wiesner Street.

“They are targeting higher-end vehicles,” Wayrch said. “They would burst paint those vehicles and leave the lesser value alone.”

“Hooray!” J.J. Schultz said sarcastically. “Just one more thing to deal with through the day. Just one of those things you got to treat and budge on. Obviously, whoever did it, got something going on.”

Schultz also woke up watching his car sprayed with vulgar language. Schultz said he works at a school and had to back his car up to the building so kids wouldn’t see the paint.

“You get a lot of looks, even tho’ I didn’t do anything to deserve this,” Schultz said.

Police say several “Construction Area” signs and portions of John Muir Park were bruised as well as books inwards a “book exchange” stand were burned.

But that’s not the only vandalism that took place overnight in Brown County. Some homeowners in De Pere found their mailboxes smashed.

De Pere Community Resource Officer, Jedd Bradley, said incidents of vandalism are being reported county-wide, that includes more than eighty mailboxes smashed over the weekend in Suamico.

“It takes up a lot of officer time and resources and it’s expensive,” Bradely said. “Not only using police officers to find out who did this but also the victims have to substitute their mailboxes.”

As for Walton, he said he’ll be on the lookout, “So, God bless them because you’re going to jail if I find out who you are.”
