Twelve window panes were found smashed at a junior high school in Yaita, Tochigi Prefecture, on Friday night, police said Saturday. It was the fifth such case of school vandalism in the prefecture since early July, Fuji TV reported.

According to police, a passerby noticed the smashed windows  at around 9 p.m. Friday. Police said that graffiti had been sprayed with red paint on other windows.

Police said that windows were smashed at another school in Yaita on Aug 3, as well as at three schools in Sakura and Nakagawa cities in July.

In the Sakura incident, school surveillance camera footage showed a young man smashing some of the windows with what looked like a rod at 1:15 a.m. on July 16, police said.

Do you actually think it is the same person? It's just copycat punks. None of the others have had graffiti sprayed on them. They shouldn't report these kinds of incidents on national news. It just give other punks ideas.
