Authorities say 'KKK' was discovered spray-painted on at least two vehicles on Evansville's North Side Sunday.


The two incidents happened overnight Saturday into Sunday while the vehicles were parked at residences less than a quarter mile apart near Diamond and First Avenues.
In the first case, police awakened victim Michael T. Bacon after an officer spotted his vandalized 2008 Subaru Outback outside his residence in the 1000 block of Fulton Parkway. According to an Evansville Police Department report, the vandals had spray-painted much of the vehicle and written 'KKK' on the right front passenger door.


Hours later, 54-year-old Janice Jackson reported finding her 2000 Cadillac Deville vandalized in front of her home in the 2700 block of North Second Avenue.
According to a separate police report, 'KKK' was spray painted on the passenger side.



"The victim stated this was most likely kids in the neighborhood and was not a hate crime against her," police wrote in the report.
Authorities say they have no suspects in the case.
