A vehicle parked on South Street outside Howard Hall was vandalized late Friday night or early Saturday.
The owner reported that the rear window had been smashed in and a beer can had been thrown inside and had exploded. It is unclear whether the can was used to break through the rear window. The passenger side of the windshield was also damaged. The owner of the vehicle also reported the incident to the Brunswick Police Department, and the matter is still under investigation by both the police and Bowdoin Security.
Director of Security Bruce Boucher said that Security had a problem with a group of people not connected to the College in that area Friday evening, and had asked them to vacate the premises, although it is unclear whether this has any relation to the reported vandalism.
While other incidents of vehicle vandalism have been reported on campus this year, the number has not been particularly high, Security reports.
There were seven incidents of burglary on campus in 2003, according to Security documents.
