CLEVELAND, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- The Cleveland home of U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, was the target of paintball-wielding vandals, police records show.

The wife of the congressman and former Democratic U.S. presidential candidate told authorities that vandals, likely teenagers, had hit their home with paint balls, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Tuesday.

The newspaper said police reports indicate Elizabeth Kucinich told officers she heard a banging noise at 1:30 a.m. last Thursday and noticed her house had been vandalized with paint balls. She said the vandals returned again the next night and lobbed more paint balls.

Police told the newspaper they have no suspects in the case.
