From Art Campos:
Rocklin police have arrested a mother and daughter who they say are responsible for a May 28 vandalism spree in which 26 vehicles on Rocklin Road had tires slashed or were damaged by spray paint.
Lt. Lon Milka said one of the women, 63-year-old Carolyn Gail Blair, left photo, vandalized her ex-husband's vehicle but also damaged the other vehicles to try to avoid being identified with the crime against her former spouse.
Most of the vandalism occurred in the parking lot of an apartment complex on Rocklin Road near Sierra College Boulevard, where the ex-husband lived, he said. The damage to the vehicles has been estimated at more than $24,000.
The woman's anger stemmed from a recent court ruling against her in a civil litigation involving the couple, Milka said.
Also arrested in the vandalism spree was Blair's 36-year-old daughter, Brigett Rochelle Moore. Both women live in El Dorado County, Milka said.
After news agencies reported the crime spree, a neighbor told police that she had heard hissing sounds on the night of the vandalism and looked out the window to see a suspicious vehicle that appeared to be a white Corvette, Milka said.
Based on the information, detectives traced the car to Blair and Moore, who were arrested today and booked on 23 felony vandalism charges and one count of conspiracy, the lieutenant said.
