The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance in providing information to help to identify the suspect(s) involved in numerous vehicle vandalisms where windows were shot out of the victim vehicles.
On Thursday, 5/31/2018, between 4:15 a.m. and 4:45 a.m., the suspect vehicle drove through several neighborhoods in the area of Rice Ranch Road in the community of Orcutt. The suspects used an air gun to shoot out the windows of at least nine vehicles that were parked along the roadway and in private driveways.

During this crime spree, the suspect vehicle was recorded by numerous residential security surveillance systems in the area. Still photos and video surveillance footage of the vehicle believed to be involved was obtained and is provided to the public in an effort to identify the person responsible for the crimes.
