4 arrested in Lacey in criminal mischief

STAFF REPORT
LACEY -- Four township residents have been charged with criminal mischief after causing about $2,700 in damage to sites in Lacey's rural Bamber Lake section, police said.

The arrests were announced yesterday after a monthlong investigation into a series of criminal mischief occurrences in Bamber Lake, police said.

Taken into custody were two men, age 18 and 21; a woman, 19, and a 17-year-old girl, according to police. Their names were not released yesterday.

A house being built sustained $1,100 in damage; graffiti was spray-painted inside, police said.

Similar graffiti -- about 100 feet in length -- was found on the surface of Phillips Road; $100 worth of damage was done there, police said.

And much of the Bamber Lake wooden footbridge was spray-painted with graffiti, causing $1,500 in damage, police said.

"The police hope that this arrest will act as a deterrent against the repeated acts of criminal mischief the footbridge has sustained since being erected," the department said in a written statement.

Detective Michael DiBella Jr. investigated. All of those charged were issued summonses and released with cases pending in either family or juvenile court, police said.
 
Now that is a case of people with too much time on their hands, huh, Jeff?!
 
That's right, Renee. And I'm glad the authorities are doing something about vandalism.

Welcome to the forum. Here's a little word of advice for you.
Always look at the date on the threads. There are many on this forum that have been put to bed a long time ago.
They may be good for research, but posting a reply is kinda moot.

Since this topic has been brought back to life.. anyone see the old 18 foot boat some scumbag dropped off back in Carusoville? Wish the police would catch that idiot.
