Vandals On E-Bikes Destroy Toilet In South OC Park Bathroom

IRVINE, CA — Police are on the hunt for a group of vandals on e-bikes responsible for a variety of damage at the Great Park in Irvine.

The most recent incident, according to police, happened around July 24, when skid marks believed to belong to at least one e-bike were left on the ground in a bathroom that had been vandalized.

Images posted on Instagram by the Irvine Police Department showed a destroyed toilet that vandals either set a firework in or destroyed with something like a baseball bat, police said.

“The suspects also committed an arson by burning materials in the sink,” the Police Department stated in the post.

According to police, the Bosque area of the Great Park has experienced an increase in vandalism over the past year.

“We’re noticing that there are very distinct tire marks at all of these incidents. Either skid marks or tire marks indicating the e-bikers were present during this activity … so we definitely believe this is tied to e-bikes,” Police Department spokesperson Kyle Oldoerp told KTLA.
