Police are releasing additional videos of subjects wanted for questioning in the damaging of Savannah’s Battlefield Park on March 2.
Three males are shown in videos exiting a blue Ford Mustang and walking into a convenience store just after a car matching that description drove onto the park at Louisville Road and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard just after midnight March 2 and spun around in circles on the parade ground and monument section, said Eunicia Baker, Savannah-Chatham police spokeswoman.
The occupants are shown entering the store, waiting to use a restroom and leaving the restroom. A few seconds later, the blue Mustang is seen exiting the parking lot.
The driver is wearing a black button-up shirt, blue jeans and a short haircut, Baker said. The front seat passenger is wearing a black shirt, black pants and an Atlanta Falcons baseball cap. The back seat passenger is dressed in a blue plaid shirt, tan pants and a blue baseball cap turned backwards.
The Mustang, believed to be about a 2010 model with chrome exhausts, was shown on a previous video crossing MLK headed west onto Louisville, Baker said. It could be seen a few seconds later in the background spinning circles in the park.
Stones on the monument were heavily damaged and deep ruts were left in the parade ground lawn.
As much as $25,000 in damage was done to the Coastal Heritage Society-maintained monument. More than 70 stones were damaged and 35 had to be completely removed, staff said.
The car may be a color Ford calls Vista Blue, Baker said.
