Acts Of Vandalism Investigated By East Lyme Police

EAST LYME, CT — Two acts of vandalism are currently under investigation by East Lyme police, who are asking for the public's help in finding the culprits.

In a pair of posts on the department's Facebook page, officials describe the two incidents, one in which six boardwalk benches were thrown off the pier onto the rocks below, and the other in which someone spray-painted a pickup truck.

"The value of each bench is approximately $600 and the benches are currently being evaluated by East Lyme Parks & Recreation staff to determine if they are salvageable," wrote police. "In reviewing video surveillance footage, the incident occurred on July 2, 2018 just after midnight, and the person(s) responsible entered through the 'Hole in the Wall' entrance."

In the truck case, police said it occurred during the overnight hours between June 22 and June 23, after the 2018 East Lyme High School Graduating Class ceremony.
