From the Spokane Police Department: there has seen a huge surge in malicious mischief over the last couple of days, and reports are continuing to come in. Initial numbers look like we are double what we normally see on an average week, and most of those have occurred over a two day period. BB and pellet guns appear to be the main method for breaking out vehicle and house windows. Many windows were damaged along East 11th Avenue from the 1200 to the 1900 block. Most of these crimes are occurring in the East Central Neighborhood. If you have been a victim of vehicle prowling, please make a report with Crime Check 456-2233.
