Can I say that "someone makes an act of vandalism"?. If the answer is not, what verb should I use?

Question

Answer

It sounds a little odd to me. 'makes' is usually used for creative, rather than destructive actions.
I would say 'commits an act of vandalism'.

Answer

You can make 'vandalize' into a present progressive verb and say 'vandalizing' or past-tense 'vandalized'.

I would most likely say, "He/she is vandalizing that building."

Answer

Taking into account that it's a crime, it'll be correct to say "commit an act of vandalism".
