Vandals flipped over two car-sharing cars in St. Paul’s Macalester-Groveland during the weekend, damaging both, police said Monday.

The car2go vehicles were tipped half a mile apart and police will investigate whether the cases are connected, said Sgt. Mike Ernster, a police spokesman. The two-seaters weigh roughly 2,000 pounds, about half that of an average vehicle.

Officers were called Saturday at 11:30 p.m. to Finn Street and St. Clair Avenue on a report of a car2go having been turned on its side. One neighbor witnessed four men who appeared to be 18 to 20 years old push over the car, Ernster said.

Another person in the area had heard “a lot of commotion outside,” saw a group of young men trying to quickly get into a gold or tan sport-utility vehicle and then drive away, Ernster said. Police did not have detailed descriptions of the males.

The car sustained damage to the passenger-side mirror and and the lower part of the driver’s-side rocker panel had been torn off, Ernster said.

Then, early Sunday, police were called to Lincoln Avenue, near Cleveland Avenue. Another car2go was on its side and “did not appear to have been in a motor vehicle accident,” according to a police report.

A man on the street heard a noise between 4 and 4:30 a.m. and checked on his infant, but realized the ruckus was coming from outside and sounded like male voices, Ernster said. When the man came out of his home about 6 a.m., he saw a car2go had been flipped on its side. He called police. The driver’s side mirror and window were broken.

Police ask that anyone with information call them at 651-266-5416.

There have been other cases reported around the country of car2go vehicles being tipped over, but a company spokeswoman said it “is nothing we see with any sort of frequency or trend.”

“At car2go we feel very much a part of the St. Paul community and we will continue to work closely with local law enforcement officials as they investigate this unfortunate incident,” said Josh Johnson, car2go Twin Cities general manager, in a statement Monday. “In the event of vandalism to our vehicles our goal is to work quickly to repair the damage and get the vehicles back on the road for our over 29,000 members in Twin Cities who rely on car2go daily to get around the city with ease.”
