Victim of car vandalism speaks after Colorado neighborhood is targeted
Victim of car vandalism speak after Littleton neighborhood is targeted by suspects Victim of car vandalism speak after Littleton neighborhood is targeted by suspects Victim of car vandalism speak after Littleton neighborhood is targeted by suspects Smashed windows and totaled vehicles are what some people living in a Colorado neighborhood woke up to last week. According to the Littleton Police Department, the vandals ran up to parked cars and hurled rocks through several windows. The Aberdeen Village Neighborhood near Broadway and Littleton Boulevard was targeted by vandals. Littleton Police Department The overnight crime spree left an otherwise quiet Aberdeen Village Neighborhood near Broadway and Littleton Boulevard feeling uneasy. "Just bewildered," said Bill Mramor. "Why did these people do this?" It was the night of June 1 when multiple suspects drove through the neighborhood, got out of the car, and threw rocks through car windows. When Mramor woke up the next day, a neighbor pointed out the damage done to his white Toyota Camry. "He was walking past and he said, 'Looks like they got you,' and I said, 'What do you mean?'" said Mramor. Ring video from across the street captured the suspects as they smashed Mramor's car windows before they took off in a silver SUV. Bill Mramor's vehicle was damaged in the attacks. Bill Mramor "It didn't take 10 or 12 seconds to do the damage that they did," said Mramor. The Mramors tell CBS Colorado the suspect used rocks from a neighbor's home up the road to smash into multiple cars before bringing those same rocks down to their home to do the same thing to their car. "Why would someone do this?" said Mramor. "It's kind of senseless." Littleton police say at least eight cars were damaged or totaled by rocks. They are still looking for any information on the people who were responsible. "I don't want to see people punished, but this was a devastating act, a pretty destructive act," said Mramor. While Mramor is grateful that it only cost around $450 to fix his car, he still wants accountability and answers. Littleton police are investigating a series of rock-throwing incidents that left several vehicles damaged. CBS "I hope that they would have accountability, that they would kind of give reasons, why pick up rocks from someone and then just hurl them at someone else's car, with no reason," he said. He also wants a sense of ease that something like this won't happen in his neighborhood again. "People will be more vigilant, and I think eventually they will get caught if they continue to do this," said Mramor. Littleton police tell CBS Colorado that in light of this ongoing incident, people should take steps to protect themselves and their property, including locking doors, leaving valuables outside cars, and making sure their cameras are working. Police say crimes like this tend to pick up during the summer months.

Tesla Charging Stations 'Engulfed In Flames' In Suspected Arson Incident
The authorities are investigating a Monday incident in which seven Tesla charging stations were consumed by fire near Boston, Massachusetts. The Littleton Police Department said in a statement that the fire is suspected to have been intentional. No injuries were reported. The police responded to reports of the fires at The Point Shopping Center in Littleton, Massachusetts, just after 1 a.m. Upon arrival, the officers found that six Tesla charging stations were 'engulfed in flames and heavy, dark smoke,' according to the police statement. The authorities then reached out to the Littleton Electric Light & Water Department, but a seventh charging station caught fire as they waited for the department to arrive. The fire department then put out the fire after the Electric Light & Water Department cut power to the charging devices. The fire is being investigated by the Littleton Police Department, the Littleton Fire Department, and the Massachusetts State Police Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit. If intentional, the fire would fall in line with other recent instances of suspected arson against Tesla, including one last week in which the authorities arrested a suspect accused of attempting to set fire to a Tesla dealership in Loveland, Colorado. Similarly, Tesla's factory in Grünheid, Germany, was the target of a suspected arson attack on Tuesday. Tesla, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, has been the target of protests as Musk took on the responsibility as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, a makeshift department instated by President Donald Trump. Musk, who appears to be Trump's right-hand man, has aided in the firing of thousands of federal employees. On Saturday, anti-Musk protests occurred at least 90 Tesla shops and charging station locations across the country as part of the 'Tesla Takedown' movement. Nine people were arrested in a New York 'Tesla Takedown' protest on Saturday. A representative for Tesla did not immediately respond to HuffPost's request for comment.
