Cicilline is cracking down on political vandalism

PROVIDENCE -- Providence Mayor David Cicilline is calling for a crackdown on political vandalism.

At a news conference today, the mayor offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrests and convictions of people involved in recent acts of political intimidation.

Those acts include a threatening phone call made to a campaign office and damage to a campaign worker's vehicle.

Cicilline says the city will have zero tolerance for that behavior and calls the incidents "serious crimes." He says Providence has more candidates for local office now than it's had in decades.
