\"\"<\/a>As residents of the Carmichael Road and South Beach areas slept early Saturday morning, a group of men drove around smashing scores of vehicle windows and windshields.<\/p>\n

At least 20 vehicles were damaged near Gerald Cash Primary School, St. Vincent Road, Munnings Avenue, and even into Pinewood.<\/p>\n

Most vehicles had the rear windows broken, while others had both the front and rear windows destroyed.<\/p>\n

St. Vincent Road resident Ismay Black said she heard what sounded like a gunshot around 4:30 a.m. but had no idea someone had thrown rocks at her car.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just heard \u2018bam\u2019, like a gun, and I told my husband to see what it was, but if it was anything don\u2019t go out,\u201d Black said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe didn\u2019t see anything.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this morning I was getting ready to finish a report I have to do when [my husband] ran inside and said girl your whole back glass [is] gone\u2019, and when I came outside two of my neighbor\u2019s pyramid stones were sitting in the back window.\u201d Black\u2019s silver Honda was badly damaged.<\/p>\n

She said when she went to the police station to report the incident there were other people making similar complaints.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I was told was that some young men were driving in a Ford F150 truck and went around having a field day at 4:30 in the morning like they have some problem in the bed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now I have a windshield problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere can I go like this in an already touchy car? And they lay down like nothing [is] wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Croton Street resident Keith Darling had a similar experience.<\/p>\n

He said he heard a loud noise around 4 a.m. but thought nothing of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe heard a noise and the alarm went off as well and I looked out the window and I didn\u2019t see anything, but I did remember hearing a car speeding off,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I went back to bed, but shortly after that my neighbors came and told me that my car glass was broken.\u201d<\/p>\n

Darling said quite a bit of cars on his corner were also hit.<\/p>\n

The vandals attacked a variety of cars and trucks with rocks, bricks and even spark plugs, according to residents.<\/p>\n

The average rear window of a car costs anywhere from $400 to $600 to repair.<\/p>\n

Over the Easter holiday weekend, several people reported that rocks and bricks were thrown into their windshields at they drove around.<\/p>\n

Police are asking anyone with information about these incidents to contact them.<\/p>\n
