Four Vandals Cause $50,000 in Damage to Mt. Hood Community College

The Gresham Police Department is asking for help identifying four people who caused $50,000 in damage to Mt. Hood Community College in August. The college was hosting the U.S. Masters Swimming National Championships at the time.

The incident happened between 1:00 and 3:15 on the morning of August 20th, according to police. The four went around the campus at 26000 Southeast Stark Street damaging cement planter boxes and plants, smashing vehicle windshields, fountains and cooling units, tipping over vending machines, and cutting the handsets from emergency telephones.

Police say that at least one suspect, seen in an above photo tipping over a vending machine, appears to be a white male in his 20's. College students reported to staff members that video and images of the vandalism were sent out by the suspects via the social media application Snapchat.

Anyone with information about the identity of the suspects in this case are asked to call Detective Adam Baker via the tip line at 503-618-2719 or toll free 888-989-3505, callers can remain anonymous.
