Another speed camera near a school speed zone has been vandalized.
Officials with the Baltimore County Police Department say the vandalism happened at some time between 5:30 a.m. and 7 a.m. Friday. For the particular camera, located on the Cromwell Bridge near Loch Raven High School, it’s the second time it has been tagged with spray paint.
