Portland Police are looking for suspects after they say a vehicle was significantly damaged from gun shot fire late Sunday night.

Officers say they were called about 11:30pm on a report of shot fired and found a Ford Expedition parked nearby at 1344 Washington Avenue with two shattered windows had several bullet holes.

Multiple shell casings were found close by on Maplewood Street.

Police say this does not appear to be a random act.

No injuries were reported.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Portland Police Department (207) 874-8575.
