Police in Irvine are looking for a man they believe vandalized at least 13 Tesla vehicles in Orange County this week. According to the Irvine Police Department, the damage involved spray paint and appears to be part of a wider series of incidents.
Authorities said video released on Monday shows a suspect spray-painting a Tesla in a parking garage near Michelson Drive. Investigators are using that footage as they work to identify the person they say is connected to multiple Tesla vandalism cases.
The case has drawn attention because of the number of vehicles reportedly targeted in a short period of time. Irvine police have not announced an arrest, but the search remains active as officers review evidence tied to the damaged cars.
The investigation centers on whether the same suspect is responsible for all 13 incidents. For now, police are continuing to track leads in the Irvine Tesla vandalism case as they try to determine who carried out the spray-paint attacks.
