Police Ask Public for Clues to BB Shootings

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said Friday that it’s investigating a series of vandalism cases in the western part of the county, in which vehicles and homes have been damaged by BB guns and vandalized with eggs.

The vandalisms began on June 27 and have continued this month in the areas of Leesburg, Hamilton and Purcellville, according to police reports. But they appear to be random, the sheriff’s office said.

In response, the sheriff’s office has increased patrols in the area using additional resources. And a detective with the sheriff’s office “has conducted numerous interviews regarding the incidents and continues to follow up on leads developed from the investigation,” the office said in a statement.
