Someone stocked up on marbles and threw them at dozens of businesses in the Bronx last night. Luckily, no one was injured in the strange marble-spraying spree.
The marblings occurred between 7:15 p.m. and 8:40 p.m. last night, and police are now looking for a white, four-door sedan with dark tinted windows.
