"Authorities are investigating a string of vandalism incidents in which more than a dozen signs were spray-painted in The Woodlands. Precinct 3 Commissioner James Noack said his crews worked Monday to clean about 15 street signs, such as speed-limit and stop signs, all of which were vandalized with paint. Two neighborhood signs for Player Manor inside the Sterling Ridge Village also were spray-painted. \"When you have the greater Houston area locked down for a week, a lot of juvenile folks have a lot of pent-up energy and they do dumb things,\" The Woodlands Township Board Chairman Gordy Bunch said. \"We don't know if these are neighborhood residents or from outside.\" DARING ESCAPE: Man climbs up antenna tower after spotting deputies Noack said his signs can cost up to $250 to replace, meaning fixing his signs could cost about $3,750. That total does not include any cost to The Woodlands Township for cleaning or repairing the Player Manor signs. Any cost of damage between $2,500 and $30,000 is a state jail felony punishable by up to two years in jail, if convicted. \"It's disappointing that this would happen at a time when the community is already stressed with providing services,\" Noack said. Anyone with information is urged to call the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office at 936-760-5800 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-392-STOP (7867).Michelle Iracheta contributed to this report."
