He’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice.

An Iowa police department investigating an especially heinous crime this holiday season has threatened to call in the big guns — Saint Nick.

The Ames Police Department on Monday received a vandalism report and found graffiti in festive red and green spray paint with the juvenile tags “poopy,” “poopy pants,” “pee pee,” “stinky” and “butt.”

The graffiti was accompanied by a green smiley face — a “nice touch,” cops said in a tweet.

“We are currently interested in speaking with all 6-10 year olds and immature husbands/boyfriends in the area,” the police department wrote, sharing a photo of the “poopy pants” tag.

“The smiley face next to ‘poopy pants’ is a nice touch. It’s like saying ‘with all due respect’ right before disrespecting someone. We probably won’t even charge them for that one,” cops added.

“But in all seriousness, this is several hundred dollars worth of damage and we’re definitely telling Santa.”

If anyone has any information, they can get in touch with Santa Claus or the Ames Police Department.
