LUCERNE, Calif. — The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a series of nighttime vandalisms and attempted vehicle burglaries in a Lucerne neighborhood.

The incidents occurred overnight Sunday and early Monday, according to reports from residents as well as video footage they posted online.

The neighborhood that was hit is located in Lucerne’s “second riviera” and included homes on and around Plaza Terrace.

Residents reported vehicles being damaged and broken into and smashed mailboxes.

Footage showed what appeared to be two males carrying skateboards who were walking through the neighborhood, trying vehicle doors. There also were reports of two young females having accompanied them.

Sheriff’s public information officer Lauren Berlinn said the agency had received reports about the incidents and were working with about five different victims.

“At this time, it appears to have been juveniles,” said Berlinn. “We are actively investigating and working with neighbors who have provided some video surveillance that may help identify the parties responsible.”

Berlinn said Deputy Marcos De la Torre is working the cases.
