There is a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the identification and apprehension of those responsible for recent vandalism throughout downtown.
From the Town of Camden:
This past weekend, 30 new parking kiosks were installed in public areas along streets and in parking lots. Beginning around 3 a.m. an individual was seen vandalizing 25 of the machines with pink spray paint and insulation spray foam.
Expanded paid parking was adopted by the Camden Select Board in February of this year. According to town officials, paid parking makes sense when demand is high, turnover is low, and revenue potential is strong. Camden hits all three: summer parking is packed, downtown employees clog prime spots, and the program could net $640,000 in revenue a year. That revenue can ease the burden on property taxpayers — making the system both necessary and self-sustaining.
The individual was seen on several local business cameras on foot and at one point riding a white bicycle.
