Man suspected in nearly two dozen instances of vandalism in northwest San Antonio arrested

SAPD says the alleged crimes go back as far as December.

SAN ANTONIO — A 33-year-old man who police believe is tied to at least 20 instances of vandalism in the Medical Center area in recent months was arrested on Tuesday, after police say he was seen on surveillance footage throwing a rock through the window of a business. 

According to a spokesperson with the San Antonio Police Department, Nor Ibrahim's alleged vandalism goes "as far back as December" and involves him breaking the windows of cars, banks, restaurants and other businesses in the Medical Center. 

"They could not get a positive identification on him until today," Office Ricardo Guzman said.

A business owner noticed Ibrahim busting a window and followed him to a nearby apartment complex, where officers eventually arrived and took him into custody on charges of criminal mischief ranging from $2,500 to $30,000. 

SAPD is urging Medical Center business owners who may have experienced vandalism in recent months to contact investigators, especially if they have surveillance footage.
