The Carroll County Sheriff's Office has released surveillance photographs of a suspect wanted in connection with the vandalism of two Westminster-area schools on Christmas Day.

Just before 3 p.m. on Dec. 25, deputies responded to a burglar alarm at the William Winchester Elementary School on Monroe Avenue just outside of Westminster.

On Wednesday, Jan. 11, the Sheriff's Office released a surveillance image, and said it shows a white male, approximately 25 years old, with a brown hair, seen approaching the school from the Englar Road side with two bricks in hand.

Three windows on that side of the school were shattered and the bricks recovered just inside the building adjacent to the damage, police said. The suspect was also observed on film walking through the school afterward.

Further investigation by deputies also found two small windows shattered at West Middle School, which is adjacent to Winchester Elementary, and the two incidents are believed to be related.

Nothing was missing from either school, but the Sheriff's Office said overall damage is estimated at $1,200.

Anyone with information about these incidents, or who knows the identity and whereabouts of the suspect, is asked to contact Corp. Mario DeVivio of the Carroll County Sheriff's Office at 410-386-2900, or the Toll free anonymous Tips Hotline at 1-888-399-TIPP (8477).
