Three men using screwdrivers and razor knives tore up the interiors of seven new Toyotas at the Chicago Auto Show, causing about $30,000 in damage, officials said.
The vandalism included dashboards smashed and ripped, seats sliced open, scratched windshields, speaker guards pried open and broken turn indicators, according to a police report. The vandalism was caught on video by security cameras, police said.
The men were arrested near the close of the show at about 9:45 p.m. Wednesday as they damaged a blue Toyota Camry, officials said. McCormick Place security held the three until police arrived, Police News Affairs Officer Robert Perez said, citing a police report.
