On 04/08/2021 at approximately 0540 hours Chico Police Officers were dispatched to the area of the Esplanade and E. Lassen Ave for a suspicious person on the hood of a pickup truck. At the time officers were dispatched the suspect was actively kicking out the front windshield of a white Toyota Tacoma. When Officers arrived the vehicle and subject were gone.
Shortly after officers arrived, a citizen flagged them down and advised the driver of the pickup in question, had just vandalized the Surf Thru Carwash at 2573 Esplanade. Officers responded to the carwash and discovered the pickup truck drove through the metal rollup door on the westside of the carwash and out through the rollup door on the eastside of the carwash. The suspect’s actions caused several thousands of dollars’ worth of damage.
Continuing their investigation officers recovered video of the suspect and suspect vehicle. See attached photographs.
