NORTHAMPTON, Mass. – "It evidently happened Saturday night because Sunday morning. I got in my car to go out for breakfast, and I come around the back got in and went holy," said Northampton Resident Paul Champagne.

A difficult start to the week for Paul Champagne and several others in Northampton and Florence. 

Police say their cars were vandalized. Around a dozen vehicles in total were allegedly hit by pumpkins between Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Champagne said this sort of activity is new for the community.

"I've been living here 50 years, and the worst was maybe 15-20 years ago," he said. "Kids would go through with eggs and hit cars, but this, with pumpkins and smashing the windshields, this is a first time."

Spectrum News 1 found more parked cars in several areas, including Vernon, Federal and South Main Street, with cracked and shattered windshields.

Champagne said neither he nor any of his neighbors caught the incidents on video, so it's difficult to know who is responsible.

"I really don't have any idea. I'm thinking it might've been some kids," he said. "If you think about it, throwing a pumpkin, they have to get out of the car to be able to throw it hard enough to break a windshield. You're not going to be able to do it from inside the car."

Champagne said, fortunately, his insurance will be able to pay for the damages.

He's a big fan of Halloween and said while he won't let the situation take away his joy for the season, he hopes the suspects will be found soon.

"Well, I have an appointment to get the windshield replaced," he said. "They're coming out to the house. They're gonna do it, and I'm just hoping the police catch whoever did it and make them be responsible."

Northampton Police are asking people who live on any of the streets impacted to check their video doorbell cameras for anything suspicious, and to contact them if they have any information.
