Culprits sought in Loomis Skate Park vandalism
Placer County sheriff’s officials ask the public’s help in finding the people responsible for vandalizing the Loomis Skate Park.
The incident occurred about 9:30 p.m. Jan. 2. The vandals lifted the back off of a granite bench, which bore a plaque dedicated to the woman who helped bring the skate park to Loomis, according to a Sheriff’s Office news release. The group skated on the back of the bench, shattering it and causing more than $1,000 in damage.
They left in a late model Ford F150, with chrome running boards and chrome rims. Judging from surveillance video, sheriff’s officials said, the truck appeared to be sliver, with a white sticker in the middle of the back window.
Anyone with information regarding the crime is asked to call Deputy Chris Carlton at 916-652-2419, or email him at ccarlton@placer.ca.gov. Those who wish to remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000 should call Placer County Crime Stoppers at 800-923-8191, or submit information online at tips.placercrimestoppers.com.
