Three unidentified males in plaid shirts and baseball caps broke a $300 window in the Harvard Street parking ramp with a plastic ashtray last Thursday night, police said.
“That’s all open; it wouldn’t have given them access to anything,” said University police Capt. Steve Johnson. “It sounds like just malicious damage.”
The window was attached to a door that leads to the east side of the ramp and was unlocked.
Parking service employees were unable to identify the suspects, who fled southbound on Harvard Street Southeast.
