A Powell businessman is offering a reward for information after vandals caused more than $12,000 worth of damage to his property this weekend; it was one of more than two dozen acts of vandalism that took place over the Halloween weekend.As of Wednesday, Powell Police had received 26 reports of apparently related graffiti that took place between midnight and 5 a.m. early Sunday morning. On Wednesday, Police Chief Tim Feathers said the department had some good leads and was making progress in investigating the case, but had made no arrests.

Some 24 incidents of graffiti, many containing Satanic messages, were reported to police by Monday morning, and later, more was discovered on the Northwest College climbing wall and some East Third Street mailboxes, Feathers said.

Bob Langdon of Bob's Auto on East Coulter Street reported that, over the weekend, someone had smashed out 51 windows in 19 vehicles parked behind his business.

Langdon said he was fortunate that the vandals chose to smash the vehicles in the back rather than the nicer models parked in front. Many of the damaged vehicles were there for their parts, but he said some were intended for re-sale, and he estimated the damage at roughly $12,750.

Given some indications at the scene, Feathers said it was a “distinct possibility” that the vandalism was committed by juveniles.

“Maybe the parents need to know that their kids are out of line,” said Langdon, who is offering a $500 reward for information that leads to conviction of the person or persons responsible.

Feathers said it was unknown if the graffiti and window smashing was related, but added, “it did occur in the same time frame and the same area.”

“We're working this case real hard,” Feathers said. “We're going to do all we can to identify these people and get them in front of a judge.”
