Police in Denton are asking for help in tracking down someone who spray-painted profanity all over a squad car last weekend.

Someone notified law enforcement of the vandalism at about 6 a.m. Saturday, when the vehicle was found sitting at Loop 288 and Stuart Road, according to a post from the department's Facebook page.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found the car with orange spray paint written across the majority of the vehicle’s body and windows. The vehicle also had flat tires and a broken spotlight.

In photos posted on Facebook, several parts of the vehicle have been blurred out by the police department due to the profane nature of the writing.

The police department is asking for people to contact them if they learn of anyone bragging about spray-painting a car.
