SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Police in Sioux Falls are looking for the vandal who damaged construction equipment overnight to the tune of $400,000.
Police spokesman Sam Clemens says the vandal was able to turn on a backhoe and tipped over a pickup truck, a utility truck, a payloader and a second backhoe. Clemens says the cab and engine of the utility truck were destroyed.
Clemens says a resident called police around 12:30 a.m. Monday to report what sounded like construction equipment running. Clemens says the responding officer saw someone run down into a ditch, get into a car and drive away.
Clemens says police haven’t identified a suspect. He says police tried to track down the car using the license plate, but discovered it had been stolen from a dealership and returned some time later.
