Police believe the three incidents are connected.

Police are investigating three reports of vandalism in South Boston, which they believe to be connected, after residents found multiple shattered car windows.

The first incident was reported around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday, near East 4th and O streets, where Boston police said a man heard two large bangs outside his window.

Once outside, he told police he saw two cars with their windshields smashed and a black vehicle fleeing the scene.

Police said the second incident was reported on the same day near 564 East 7th St., where the victim’s car was parked.

The car’s rear window was left shattered and a cinder block could be seen still inside the vehicle, police said.
