Police in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, are searching for suspects after several windshields were shattered while people were driving near Route 118 Wednesday.
Police do not know if the cars were damaged by rocks or shot at by a BB gun, but it happened to at least four drivers in the span of a half hour.
One of the victims did not want to be identified, but spoke to necn about the frightening experience.
"I was driving down the road, there was no one around and the windshield shattered," she said. "It startled me because at first you're kind of shocked at what that was."
When she told police, she was surprised to hear she was not alone. Three other drivers reported a similar experience and had a similar damage.
"I think it's probably someone who just thinks it's a fun prank, but someone can seriously get hurt," she said.
Rehoboth Police say all of the incidents happened in close proximity to Route 118, including one on Pleasant Street and another near the intersection of Brook and Moulton Streets.

At least two drivers who were hit reported seeing a dark colored sports car in the area at the time. Police said they are also asking for the public's help.
