Detectives from the 2nd District are investigating multiple incidents of vandalism to businesses and cars that have occurred in the 11700 block of Parklawn Drive in Rockville. Today, investigators are releasing video and photographs of a suspect and are asking for the public's help in identifying him.

The vandalism to local businesses began in mid-March and continued through early May.

Additionally, multiple incidents of graffiti have been reported on nearby buildings and vehicles. These acts of vandalism have cost the victim businesses over $5,000.

Surveillance cameras captured a suspect spray painting a business in the area on April 13 at approximately 1:00 a.m. Detectives are asking for the public's help in identifying this suspect. Detectives believe that it is possible that there are additional suspects, as cameras captured four people walking in a group in the area on that night.
