At around 5:41 p.m., a Lacey officer responded to another report of criminal mischief in the area of the 700 block of Montauk Drive. Here, police found a house vandalized again with the green spray paint on the door and siding. The spray paint was used to write profanities on the residence, causing about $100 in damage, police stated.
The third incident occurred also at about 5 p.m. but was located on Cape May Drive. Police responded to the area after reports of a spray-painted mailbox and a spray-painted stop sign. Police estimate the damage at $50.
