Group smashes windows, throws paint on Philadelphia apartment building: police
PHILADELPHIA - Police are searching for a group of vandals seen on surveillance video smashing the windows of a Philadelphia apartment building and throwing glass bottles of paint.
Investigators say the group of mostly masked suspects inflicted about $100,000 in damage on the Olympic Tower Apartments property in West Philadelphia.
Video from May 1 shows the vandals using what appears to be different tools to shatter the first-floor windows and toss glass bottles of purple paint on the sidewalk.
