CRANSTON, RI — 15 vehicles parked in Roger Williams Park were broken into over the weekend, a spokesperson for the zoo said Monday. More information on increased security measures is expected tomorrow.
According to Diane Nahabedian, the Director of Marketing and Public Relations at Roger Williams Park Zoo, the vandalism happened on Saturday night. None of the vehicles were parked in zoo parking lots, Nahabedian added, and many of the targeted vehicles had visible personal items.
The vandalism happened during the zoo's Jack O'Lantern Spectacular, a very busy time. Weekends are especially busy, with increased crowds and timed tickets required for entry.
