Vandalism suspect arrested after windows shattered on multiple vehicles in North Hollywood

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A felony vandalism suspect was arrested after the windshields of "numerous" vehicles were shattered in North Hollywood, authorities said.

Officers were called about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday to the 5000 block of Tujunga Avenue to investigate a report that a man in his 40s was vandalizing vehicles, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The suspect was arrested, but his name was not immediately released.

Police did not specify how many vehicles were damaged, but an LAPD spokesperson told ABC7 that "numerous" vehicles were vandalized.

In an interview, one resident said his work truck, and the cars of his mother, his sister and his neighbor, were among those damaged.

"Last night, I heard somebody acting crazy outside -- just yelling, cussing," Jovany Garduno said. "They actually banged on some of the apartment walls. I called the cops, the cops had me on hold for like twenty-plus minutes -- which was honestly infuriating.

"I got off the phone and this morning it's kind of hard not to relay that: What if this could've been prevented, had they not taken twenty-plus minutes on hold?" Garduno added.
