Police in Winter Springs, Fla., are searching for the driver of a car caught on a homeowner's surveillance video camera running over an elaborate Christmas display and Nativity scene.

The surveillance video shows the driver of a light-colored coupe purposely turning off the road and into Mike Ghali's home located at 1201 Clinging Vine Place, near Winter Springs at about 3 a.m.

"I don't know if it is game or somebody just does not like Christmas," Ghali said. "Maybe it is the Grinch or Scrooge."

Ghali said the vandal apparently did not notice his three cameras mounted around his home.

"It is something that I've always had on my houses just to be on the safe side," Ghali said.

Several neighbors were angered over the vandalism to the holiday display.

"Although it was Michael's property, we as a community feel as though we have all been violated," Thomas Hanna.

Tire tracks and skid marks remain in Ghali's yard Friday morning.

Ghali has given the video to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office in hopes it will lead to an arrest in the case.

"I want them to get caught," Ghali said. "I want them to be prosecuted. This should not have happened. Not two days before Christmas."

If you have any information concerning this crime, you are urged to call Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS.
