Police think three young men vandalized at least 75 vehicles Friday night in Lee’s Summit.

The men allegedly used an air rifle to shoot out windows in 75 cars Friday night and early Saturday morning.

Police said the incidents were spread out but a number of reports were taken from the east and southwest part of the city.

Authorities described a suspect vehicle as a gray, 1980s Lincoln Town Car occupied by three males that appeared to be about 18 years old.

Police would like to review any video from homes in the area to see if residents caught the suspects or their vehicle on surveillance cameras overnight.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Police Department tips hotline at 816-969-1752.
