BRIAN: POLICE BELIEVE THIS IS

THE SUSPECT, CAUGHT ON

SURVLIENCE CAMERAS.

THE FACE IS COVERED, BUT ANYONE

WHO KNOWS THIS PERSON MIGHT BE

ABLE TO MAKE AN IDENTIFICATION.

CHARGES WILL BE VANDALISM.

THAT COULD RANGE FROM A

MISDEMEANOR TO A FELONY, EVEN

THE POSSIBILITY OF A HATE CRIM

CRIME, DEFINED WITH VANDALIS

IF THERE'S A WAY, A POSSIBILITY
