A man has been taken into custody after he was linked to a string of possible hate crime vandalisms in the San Fernando Valley, and it turns out this is not the first time he’s been accused of doing this.

A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson confirmed to KTLA that 64-year-old Edelidio David Wallace was arrested by Topanga Area patrol officers in the 21000 block of Victory Boulevard at 3:30 p.m. Monday afternoon.

Wallace was caught on video throwing projectiles through the storefront windows of several businesses around 3 a.m. Saturday morning in the 20900 block of Victory Boulevard, police said. Two of the stores, located two doors from each other, were Jewish-owned and had mezuzahs affixed to their doors.
