Apr. 11—Officers from the Owensboro Police Department have received more than 40 reports of property damage since Thursday night.

According to a press release sent Monday, the damage is consistent with being struck with a projectile from a BB or pellet gun and the combined damage is expected to be thousands of dollars.

The Criminal Investigations Division is currently investigating all of the reports and believes they are related.

Detectives are requesting that if anyone in an affected neighborhood has surveillance footage that could assist in the investigation, contact Det. Chad Gilbert at 270-687-8885.

Dylan Evans, OPD public information officer, said he could not give further details on what kind of properties had been damaged.

Daviess County Sheriff's Office is also investigating some of the incidents, and Duane Harper, captain of patrol for the office, said the damage has mostly occurred to vehicles.

"They've been shooting out car windows, but when a window is missed, that can lead to the door being shot," he said.

Anyone with additional information can contact OPD at 270-687-8888 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 270-687-8484.
