July 28, 12:07 p.m. – Westwood Police received reports of vandalism at Westwood Lodge, after one of the hospital's patients used the receiver of pay phone to cause damage to a nearby wall inside the building. The 18-year-old patient also damaged a television set in the unit, according to reports. The incident is still under investigation.

July 28, 10:21 p.m. – Police received a call from a Gay Street resident regarding a damaged mailbox at the property. The resident reported that a loud bang had been heard outside the home, and a family member who arrived home shortly after said the mailbox had been blown up with an explosive device. The matter is still under investigation.

July 29, 3:56 p.m. – Police are giving a condemned home on High Street extra surveillance after receiving reports of suspicious activity in the area. The home, which has been torn down, had been littered with trash and empty beer cans, according to reports. Police reports indicate that because the incident took place on the main road, the cans and trash were most likely dumped at the location, as opposed to signs of a party. The owners of the property have, as such, asked for additional surveillance of the area.
