Pittsburg BB gun vandalism suspect arrested
(KRON) — A suspect who police say targeted multiple businesses over a months-long campaign of vandalism involving a pellet gun was arrested, the Pittsburg Police Department announced Thursday. The arrest was in connection to a series of incidents involving businesses on Garcia Avenue.
Vandals used pellet guns to shoot at the glass windows of the businesses. This resulted in “significant financial losses” amounting to several thousands of dollars, police said.
In response to the attacks, police said the property owner installed surveillance cameras. These cameras were successful in capturing the culprit in action.
The footage provided a lead for Pittsburg PD Detective Lefterov. Over several weeks, Lefterov gathered substantial evidence and identified the suspect in the vandalism incidents, police said.
Pittsburg PD served several arrest warrants which lead to the confiscation of:
- A BB gun
- An air rifle
- Numerous copper BBs
- Suspected illicit substances
The suspect in the case was arrested and charged with eight counts of felony vandalism.

The Draft Theater viewing area will create a dramatic setting for pick selections and televised coverage. Globally-televised shots from the stage will feature Pittsburgh’s skyline, rivers and bridges – a backdrop that reflects the ingenuity and character of the city known as the one that helped build America and forged an unmatched football legacy.
“These renderings bring the 2026 NFL Draft vision to life in a way that is uniquely Pittsburgh,” said Peter O’Reilly, NFL Executive Vice President of Club Business, International and League Events. “From the North Shore to Point State Park, this campus design captures the city’s energy, authenticity, and deep-rooted connection to the game, while delivering an unforgettable experience for fans around the world.”
Elements of the NFL Draft Experience, the league’s interactive fan festival, will be located at Point State Park, transforming one of Pittsburgh’s most historic and scenic public spaces into a vibrant hub of football, community and culture. Set at the confluence of the city’s three rivers, the Draft Experience will feature interactive activities, youth programming, food and beverage offerings, and immersive NFL exhibits designed for fans of all ages.
Connecting the Draft Theater and the NFL Draft Experience will be two signature Pittsburgh elements. The Roberto Clemente Bridge will be closed to vehicle traffic and activated as a pedestrian-only fan corridor, creating a dramatic and walkable connection between the North Shore and Downtown. In addition, the Gateway Clipper Fleet will provide river transportation between Draft sites, offering fans a distinctly Pittsburgh way to experience the event while highlighting the city’s waterways.
