He was last seen walking on Frost toward Erdrick.
The vandal was described as white, in his teens or early 20s, 5 feet 10 inches tall and about 160 pounds with a blue T-shirt and dark pants. Visit the Philadelphia Police channel on YouTube.com to view the surveillance video. Call 215–686-TIPS or text to PPDTIP to report information. ••
