Multiple cars vandalized in Massapequa area

The windows of at least 21 vehicles were vandalized overnight Saturday into Sunday in Massapequa and Massapequa Park, Nassau County police said.

Some car owners said it appeared that the windows had been shot, but police said Sunday they do not believe a gun was used.

Police said they were investigating "criminal mischief" incidents that occurred between 6 p.m. Saturday and 12:20 p.m. Sunday and affected a wide range of vehicles.

No one was hurt in the incidents and no arrests have been made.

Dan Flannelly, 66, of Massapequa, said the rear window of his silver 1992 Plymouth Voyager was damaged.

His wife woke up shortly after 4 a.m. Sunday to noises outside and their dogs barking, said Flannelly, a retired NYPD officer.

"It had to be a pellet gun or a BB gun that damaged it, because the middle was blown out and the sides were still intact," he said. The rear window of a second car on Locust Street had similar damage, he said.

"This is random craziness by some hooligans," Maughan said. "I can't see adults doing this."

Anyone with information about the incidents can contact Crime Stoppers at 800-244-TIPS.
