The reports are starting to filter in. With the holidays in full swing, the lights have been put up and everyone is admiring the decorations.

 

Vandals can't resist the opportunity to be a "Grinch" and damage and cut light cords, puncture inflatable Santa's, snowmen and disturb other decorations. This criminal behavior usually starts at dusk and continues under the cover of darkness.

 

Be extra vigilant during this time of increased criminal mischief and report anyone suspicious in your yard or a neighbors yard.
