VALPARAISO
Residents witness two
cases of vandalism
Carrie Lund told police she heard a loud crash just before 9:30 p.m. Thursday and looked outside her window to see a sports-type station wagon driving slowly past her vehicle.
She discovered the driver's side window of her vehicle had been broken while parked outside her residence on Worchester Drive. The loss was estimated at $100.
An hour later, Jeffrey Lawley reported someone had driven past his home on Campbell Street and threw a beer bottle at his vehicle.
There was no damage to the vehicle.
