B.C. police search for woman who keyed 400 cars on various dealership lots

The woman, who was caught on surveillance video, has been busy, keying more than 400 new cars over the last four months and has yet to be found. In the footage she’s wearing a mask, which is making it trickier to identify her, so police are asking for the public’s help to figure out who this person is.
