A vandalism spree near the Denny Triangle in downtown Seattle left several windows shattered.

The latest destruction comes just a couple of weeks after a similar incident just blocks away.

Just before 1:00 a.m. Saturday, someone called 911 to report a man throwing rocks at business windows on Westlake, just north of Denny Way.

Officers arrived and found a man who matched the description.

Police booked the suspect on suspicion of Malicious Mischief and took him into custody at the King County Jail.

A police report shows that windows were damaged in at least three businesses.

This is just a few blocks away from a similar incident of vandalism that occurred about two weeks ago.
