Milwaukee - On Saturday, several people outside Reyna's bakery on the 1200 block of S. Cesar E. Chavez Drive witnessed a gray jeep intentional bump into the rear of a parked 2001 Lincoln Navigator three times. Afterwards, the jeep driver backs up and a woman gets off the passengers side and proceeds to scratch the SUV, while smiling and holding a cellphone.
The unusual incident of vandalism was captured in several photos taken at the moment it occured. The incident happened at 2:48 p.m.
The owner of the SUV says, he doesn't recognized the woman and doesn't know why his SUV was vandalized. The owner called Milwaukee police minutes after the incident happened and gave the license nummber of the jeep involved. He told the operator that photos were available of the woman committing the vandalism.
At 4:10 p.m., the owner of the SUV got tired of waiting for police to arrive. He left the area and then went to the 6th Police District Station located at S. 27th and W. Oklahoma Ave. to report it. Police told him to get them a memory card with the photos and to return to the police station, so they would act on the incident.
Unfortunately, police never arrived at the scene before this news report was posted. Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn enacted a policy for police not to respond to low priority calls, thus avoiding adding crime statistics into the departments annual crime reports. Calls made to 911 for low priority incidents don't make it into reports or explains why police never responded or investigated.
Also on early Saturday, vandals hit the Chavez Drive Business district with graffiti once again.
