Vandals Cause $2,500 Of Damage To Custom-Painted Parking Stalls At Lacey Township High School

Do you know who damaged a number of custom-painted murals in the Lacey Township High School parking lot this week?

Then Lacey Township police wants to hear from you, even if you prefer to remain anonymous.

Officer Michael Eden responded to the high school on Haines Street at 2:47 p.m. on Aug. 10 after Principal Gregory Brandis reported a criminal mischief incident, Police Chief Michael DiBella said.

Brandis told police that during the evening hours of August 9, 2016 an older model pickup truck, possibly a Ford pickup truck, with no bed on the back, damaged several custom painted parking stalls located in the Lacey High School parking lot, the chief said.

The truck spun its tires across approximately 20 of the custom painted parking stalls, which damaged the fresh paint and caused roughly $2,500 in damage. The murals in the stalls were painted by students as a fundraising effort, DiMiBella said.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Robert Surtees or Officer Michael Eden at (609)693-6636. You can also submit an anonymous crime tip through the department website at http://www.LaceyPD.org/crime-tips/
