Who would do this? The Grinch?

👇BELOW: Where to See Holiday Light Displays in West Michigan👇

For 27 years, the Christmas Lite Show at LMCU Ballpark in Comstock Park has been delighting families with nearly two miles of lights, animated displays, lighted tunnels, and more.

The Lite show had planned to open Wednesday, Nov. 27 - now that has been delayed.

According to Wood TV 8, it's believed vandals struck the Christmas Lite Show Tuesday night between 8p.m. and 9p.m.

The Kent County Sheriff's Office shared the above security camera footage of the alleged perpetrator, saying:

Preliminary information shows an adult male entered the park just before 9:00 PM last night and damaged hundreds of Christmas lights. The impact does not end with the damaged lights because we know our community looks forward to this annual holiday tradition.

Anyone with information is asked to contact KCSO at 616-632-6125, or call Silent Observer at 616-774-2345 to report anonymously.

Christmas Lite Show Owner Bill Schrader says about half the light displays are not working and it will take time to fix it.

A 95-year-old U.S. army veteran, Shrader tells Wood TV 8 he had expected about 1,000 cars on opening night. His best guess is that the earliest they'll be able to open is Saturday.

A post to Facebook shares,

Please stay tuned for posts with updates, we are currently reaching out to those who have booked times on the train.

The Memory Lane Train is another option at the Christmas Lite Show, for those who prefer not to take their own car through.
