A group of teenagers reportedly went on a Halloween vandalism spree in Auburn late Sunday and into early Monday morning, targeting multiple homeowners’ decorations and smashing multiple pumpkins.
The group of vandals was caught on various homeowners’ security cameras, which filmed the teenagers being driven around the area and approaching front doors of homes to vandalize their Halloween decorations, according to KIRO 7.
“It was like, senseless. Just stuff, it can be repaired. But I just don’t know why they would want to take anyone else’s happiness,” homeowner Rob Goshorn told KIRO 7.

Goshorn revealed that 10 of his Halloween decorations were destroyed, including dragons, dinosaurs, witches, and pumpkins.
Other Auburn homeowners have posted on a social media group to display the damage made to their personal Halloween decorations.
In one instance, a Ring Camera showed two teenagers exiting a white SUV and running towards a front door to smash multiple pumpkins set up as decorations.
Another camera filmed what appeared to be the same vehicle and teenagers pulling up outside of a home, damaging a large skeleton in the front yard of a home, and proceeding to drive off shortly after.
Goshorn believed the damage done to his Halloween decorations totaled approximately $1,000.
The Auburn Police Department will continue to work towards identifying all individuals involved.
