BAINBRIDGE ISLAND – It's a Bainbridge High School tradition for seniors to spray paint local streets, but this year many are saying they went too far.

Officers went to work Wednesday to find severe damage to a total of eight police vehicles, plus the police chief's patrol car was hit at his house, said Deputy Chief Mark Duncan. The cars had their tires slashed and were tagged with graffiti, including the police chief’s car. Some appeared to have buckets of paint splattered on them. The vandalism is believed to have occurred between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. Wednesday.
