Police Deputy Paul Schaff patrols CVHS. He said there could be a connection between the two vandalism cases.

Kids from the nearby neighborhood are the likely suspects, Schaff said. He said nothing was stolen from the vehicles in either case, and the vandals hid behind bushes out of sight of security cameras.

And he said the vandalism happened so randomly it's hard for CVHS students to protect their property. The best thing for students to do is park near the cameras until more security cameras are installed, the officer said.

But he also said doing so can be hard, with parking so limited the school .

Assistant Principal Todd Amon is drafting a proposal to add more security cameras to the parking lot, Schaff said.

One of the targeted vehicles was a black Ford F-150 pickup, according to a police call made Monday at 6:44 p.m.

"There is no security in the lower parking lot," Pike said. "It is not secure for students to park there."
