NEWARK, NJ – Two suspects who wrote profanities on a Newark police vehicle are being sought after they were captured on a nearby surveillance video.

Now, Newark Public Safety Director Brian A. O’Hara requests the public’s help with identifying the suspects.

“The incident of criminal mischief occurred at approximately 3:19 a.m. on Wilson Avenue when the marked patrol unit was parked due to a festival,” O’Hara said. “Using a black marker, the suspects were observed writing the profanity on the rear side panel of the vehicle. The taller of the two suspects, who was wearing a blue shirt and blue jeans, appears to have multiple tattoos on his left arm.”
