Damage inflicted on the vehicles included scratched paint and slashed tires.

Witnesses reported one male was wearing a black hoodie, while the other was wearing a plaid hoodie and carrying a black backpack.

Anyone with information about the matter is asked to call Penticton RCMP at 250-492-4300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
