The first incident happened on Dec. 10 around 10 p.m. at a home on the 6200 block of Iroquois Road. The homeowner reported hearing a noise outside, then went outside to discover the home had been egged. Christmas decorations had been vandalized and an inflatable reindeer had been stolen.
The second incident happened around 11:30 p.m. in the 5700 block of Jones Avenue. Several Christmas decorations had been vandalized, and an inflatable penguin had been stolen from the front yard.
Surveillance video from the second home captured the suspect's vehicle parked in the front. Two people exited from the passenger side, walked up to the home and suddenly punctured an inflatable decoration. They then tossed some Christmas lights to the ground and stole an inflatable decoration.
