Sept. 24--Aurora police are investigating several reports of vandalism that occurred earlier this week at and around Metea Valley High School in the 1800 block of North Eola Road this week.
Sometime between 7 p.m. Tuesday and 7 a.m. Wednesday, two parked vehicles and several areas of sidewalks and fencing were damaged with spray paint, causing about $4,000 in damage, according to a news release from the Aurora Police Department.
In addition, graffiti was painted on the siding of a private residence in the 3100 block of Bennett Place between 8:30 p.m. and 9:20 p.m., on Tuesday, police said. The residence is about one block south of Metea Valley and it appears to be the same color paint as used to damage the school.
