Two incidents of vandalism occurred this week in the Safeway supermarket at 1444 Shattuck Ave. 

On Tuesday store employees found the head of a deer in the supermarket’s meat case. Berkeley Police Lt. Russell Lopes said Thursday a report on this incident is not available at the present time. 

On Wednesday, the store manager stepped into the freight elevator in the market’s underground garage sometime between noon and 1 p.m. 

She discovered that the control panel door had been removed and the wires had been cut, Lopes said. 

The manager did not know if the deer’s head had any connection with the malicious damage in the elevator, and the store manager did not mention any personnel problems.
