The vandalism happened while the food trucks were parked at the Senior Resource Connection’s Dayton location at 222 Salem Avenue. Police report that the suspects stole catalytic converters and damaged the oxygen sensors.

A spokesperson for the company says the vehicles deliver food to Greene, Champaign and other rural counties.

The same company is still recovering from a food truck that was stolen just before Christmas. If you would like to donate to Senior Resource Connection you can click the following link: Senior Resource Connection
