Dozens of vehicles have been struck by projectiles along Highway 101 and neighboring Highway 156 in the Prunedale area this year, prompting the California Highway Patrol to create a task force to investigate the attacks. The incidents — 62 since February — began to pick up in frequency in early October, and investigators think they are linked, said Capt. Kyle Foster, commander of the Monterey division of the CHP. He declined to describe the nature of the projectiles because of the ongoing investigation. “We have full-time assets assigned to this 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Foster said.
