PORTLAND — Two Windham men face felony criminal mischief charges after allegedly vandalizing 20 cars that were parked at the Fitzpatrick Stadium parking lot because of Portland’s snowstorm parking ban.

Officers discovered Keegan Burke, 19, and Thomas Patrick, 20, walking through the lot at 5:15 p.m. Wednesday carrying windshield wipers that had been broken free from parked cars, police said. After a short foot chase, officers caught the men and charged them with aggravated criminal mischief, a felony.

Police said the pair also broke into two cars and they were charged with two counts of motor vehicle burglary to a car. Police also charged Burke with possession of burglary tools.
