Police are seeking information on a pickup seen in a video that shows two vandals opening a hydrant and driving through the water spray.
Vandals are opening fire hydrants in Aurora and fleeing, causing millions of gallons of water to be wasted and jeopardizing the fire department’s ability to do its job.
Aurora Water reported on Twitter Thursday morning that vandals have opened five fire hydrants and left them with water flowing out. The vandalism has released at least 500,000 gallons of water each time, the tweet said. For context, an Olympic-sized swimming pool holds about 660,000 gallons of water.
The water department also released videos of one vandal opening a hydrant at Mrachek Middle School on South Telluride Street in east Aurora. The video shows two people getting out of a black pickup truck parked in a lot. One person, wearing black pants and a black hoodie, leaps over a fence and runs to a fire hydrant where he uses a tool to turn on the hydrant at full force. The other person stands near the pickup to watch.
Once the water is blasting, both get back in the truck. The driver then pulls the pickup in reverse down a driveway in front of the school and backs into the water stream for a few seconds before leaving. About 30 seconds later, the pickup returns again and this time drives forward through the spraying water, the video shows.
