West Deptford's Soapy Vandals Strike Again

West Deptford police said a car near the scene of the first soaping was hit Feb. 9.

Be on the lookout for vandals with impeccable hygiene.

Just a few days after someone hit a motorhome on Red Bank Court with soap, they—or some copycats—were back at it just around the corner.

Police said vandals performed another half-baked car wash on a vehicle parked on Lancing Road, the next block over from Red Bank Court, on Feb. 9.

Once again, the vehicle was sprayed with liquid soap. A similar incident happened Feb. 7, also on Lancing Road, though police left that one as an unidentified thick liquid.

Neither the Feb. 9 soaping or the Feb. 7 incident left permanent damage to either vehicle, police said.
