WESTAMPTON — There’s a self-proclaimed code officer in town, and the police are looking for him.

The police department is looking to identify a man in a number of criminal mischief investigations who has keyed cars and slashed tires in what appears to be retribution for lawns not maintained up to the suspect’s standards.

According to police, the suspect has left notes at least three times referring to himself as the “new code officer” in town, warning the victims that he is not happy with the upkeep of their property and that they are bringing down property values.

Police said Tuesday that there have been at least six incidents over the past month in the Holly Hills neighborhood. They were also able to connect the recent incidents to similar ones that occurred last year when comparing the handwriting of notes left at the scene.

On Monday, the department posted a video on its Facebook page of the man keying the hood of a Cadillac and asked the public for help in identifying him. The video was of an incident that occurred about 4:20 a.m. Monday, according to police.

As of Tuesday morning, the department said that while a number of comments were posted on its Facebook page, it has yet to receive any leads.

Anyone with information is asked to call Lt. Brian Ferguson at 609-267-3000, ext. 154.
