Punks In New Lenox Club A Few Mailboxes For Kicks

NEW LENOX, IL - For some, the teenage years can be a time of anger, confusion and rebellion. And around New Lenox, some area youths recently decided to take out their life's frustrations against the mailboxes belonging to a handful of homeowners they probably don't even know. On November 16, New Lenox police officers were summoned to the 700 blocks of Brockwood, Sojourn and Amanda. The vandalism was reported around 2:35 a.m.

There were at least three reported incidents of mail boxes that sustained damage, police reports indicate. The victim who alerted the police to the damage had no idea who may have committed the crime.

The vandalism remains under the investigation.

Incidentally, about four hours later, at 6:50 a.m. New Lenox police were notified of criminal damage to a car in the 800 block of Grand Mesa. Someone had busted out the rear window of a car that was parked overnight along the street in front of one of the homes. Then, about 30 minutes later, at 7:20 a.m., New Lenox police were notified of another incident. That particular crime was reported in the 2800 block of Tanaga Basin.

"The complainant advised that unknown (vandals) broke the rear window to their vehicle while it was parked on the street in front of their house overnight," New Lenox police reports reflect.

Did the same vandals who clubbed the subdivision mailboxes also shatter the windows of two New Lenox cars during that same night? The New Lenox Police Department continues to investigate both crimes and develop leads. If any arrests are made, Patch will plan to bring you an update to this story.
