DeSoto (LA) Fire District officials are seeking information on the whereabouts of a man wanted for vandalizing a parish fire truck earlier this month, reports ktbs.com.

Officials say Harley Clay Giecek and an accomplice illegally entered a DeSoto Fire District No. 8 station in Carmel and spray-painted graffiti on the inside and outside of an apparatus. Damage was also done on the inside, which rendered the truck inoperable.

Police officials already have one suspect in custody—Daisy Patrice Solis, 18, who’s charged with simple burglary and two counts of simple criminal damage to property.
