Parker police seek tips after suspects vandalize home, camera in video

Ski goggles, a sprayed doorbell camera and motor oil spread across a front walk have turned a Parker vandalism case into a neighborhood safety concern, and police are asking residents for help identifying two suspects seen on video near Cherry Creek Trail.

Parker police said damage was reported just before 10:30 p.m. Friday, April 24, on the 11000 block of Endeavor Way. In video released by investigators, two suspects are seen running through the neighborhood. One appears to spray a substance on a Ring doorbell camera and the front door, while the other pours what appears to be motor oil on the concrete sidewalk, steps and porch.

Police said the suspect who sprayed the camera wore light-colored sweatpants, a sweatshirt and ski goggles. The other suspect wore a dark sweatshirt, light pants and ski goggles. The clothing and the effort to obscure their faces suggest the vandals expected to be caught on video, a detail that makes home security footage especially important in this case.

Officers have not publicly identified the suspects or said what may have motivated the damage. The investigation remains active, and police are asking anyone with information to contact Officer Gherbaz at Sgherbaz@parkerco.gov.

The case fits a broader public-safety challenge for Parker and the rest of Douglas County, where neighborhood cameras increasingly serve as a first line of evidence in property-crime cases. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office also maintains a Community Crime Map for select reported crimes, though the agency warns the data may contain errors and is not complete or fully timely.

Parker police, led by Chief Jim Tsurapas since June 9, 2020, describe the department as a year-round, 24-hour service built around community policing and partnerships with residents. In its December 2025 monthly report, the department listed 97 authorized commissioned officers and 82 current operating commissioned officers, underscoring how heavily investigators can depend on the public when a case comes in after dark.

For neighbors near Endeavor Way and the Cherry Creek Trail corridor, the most useful evidence may already be on porch cameras, doorbells or security systems that captured two people moving block to block in the same clothing. Even short clips showing where the pair came from, where they went or what vehicle they may have used could help police link this vandalism to other incidents in Parker or nearby neighborhoods.

The damage itself was strange. The response is routine: police are asking the public to help close the gap before the suspects disappear into another part of Douglas County.
