Vandalism was reported at Park Village Apartments, 701 N. Germantown Road. Police observed the front window of a woman's apartment was shattered.

The unknown suspect apparently used the cover of a small, portable grill, as this was discovered inside the apartment. The base of the grill was observed outside of the apartment on the breezeway, so it appears as if this was a vandalism tool of opportunity. The woman did not have any suspect information. Police spoke with the assistant property manager at the front office of the complex. He provided police with surveillance footage of the incident occurring at 9:06 a.m. The video showed a black male exiting from a four-door white sedan and walking to the apartment door. The man can be seen knocking as reported and utilizing the grill lid to destroy the window. The man retreated back to the vehicle and exited the scene without further incident.
