Police are investigating after 25 vehicles were scratched in an Old South neighbourhood.

Seven of the vehicles had the word “greed” scratched into them, police said Thursday.

Police say the vandalism occurred on two occasions.

Sometime overnight — between June 14 and 15 — 22 vehicles were damaged in the area of Edward Street, Elworthy Avenue and Baseline Road East.

“That’s a lot in one night, and we are hoping that someone who knows something will help us catch the individual or individuals,” police spokesperson Const. Sandasha Bough said.

“It looks like they went down the street and targeted one car, then another, then another.”

Three more vehicles were damaged overnight between June 19 and 20, she said.

Police don’t have a suspect description. They ask owners of damaged vehicles who have not filed a report to do so through their ­website.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
