Bangor police were searching for details Sunday after vandals slashed the tires and broke off the side-view mirrors of nearly 20 cars in the parking lots of Main Street Inn and Holiday Inn on Main Street, officials said.
Damage to the cars were still being tallied, but could run $1,000 to $5,000, Bangor police Lt. David Kane said. The cars were damaged between 11 p.m. Friday and 5:30 a.m. Saturday.
One or two tires were slashed on each of the damaged cars, Kane said.
Meanwhile, two U-Haul trucks were damaged sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning when the front driver’s side tires were slashed, Bangor Police Officer Butch Moor said. The rental trucks had been parked on May Street, about a mile from where the motel lot vandalism occurred.
Damage to the trucks was estimated at $300.
Anyone who saw suspicious activity in either area or anyone with information regarding vandalism should call the Bangor Police Department at 947-7384.

Bangor police arrested a Veazie man Saturday night after he refused to come down from a second-floor fire escape at 67 Court St. and broke through the window of an apartment in the building, officials said.
Bangor police Officers Steve Jordan and Wade Betters arrested Michael Brown, 28, as he was standing in the living room of the apartment that he had broken into, Jordan said. The man had been pounding on the window of the apartment for several minutes before police arrived, the apartment resident told police.
Police repeatedly asked the man to come down from the fire escape before he broke the window and went inside, Jordan said.
A test found Brown’s blood-alcohol level to be 0.24 percent, Jordan said. Brown was charged with criminal trespass and criminal mischief and was released on his own recognizance Sunday morning.
