On 1/3/2024, a business owner on Lynch Creek Way contacted the Petaluma Police Department to report a vandalism. Every glass window around the building had been shattered and a black line had been spray painted throughout the entirety of the exterior building. The cost of repair was estimated around $10,000 – 15,000. Officers obtained surveillance video of the suspect which appeared to be a white male adult wearing a hooded sweatshirt, mask, gloves, and carrying a backpack.
 
The same victim’s business was previously targeted two times in August of 2023 by the same suspect. The suspect threw rocks at the windows shattering them and spray painted the exterior. Both prior cases were investigated, however a suspect could not be identified.
 
If anyone has information regarding this incident or can identify the suspect, please contact Officer Steven Hutchison at (707)781-1215.
