Police are searching for a vandal who left unpleasant surprises for several drivers and one store owner this month in the Bridgeport neighborhood.

The suspect was described as white/Hispanic or Asian, between 30 and 35 old, 5 feet 10 to 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighing 180 to 200 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black hoodie, a black baseball cap with an emblem, tan pants and white gloves and was carrying a brown paper bag, police said.
Police advise any future victims to not touch anything and call 911 immediately.
