LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A Lincoln man caused more than $2,000 in damage Wednesday afternoon at several businesses along O Street.

The Lincoln Police Department responded to the area of 56th and O streets just after 1 p.m. for a series of vandalisms.

He walked west down O Street, stopping at several businesses and throwing rocks through two windows, according to LPD.
