Threats, Vandalism A Concern At Vienna Dog Park

VIENNA, VA—What was meant to be an enjoyable visit to the dog park wasn't so enjoyable for a few people recently in Vienna. One was a target of threats and two others found their car windows smashed in the span of three days at the Vienna Dog Park.

A man made threats after a dog fight happened around 2:45 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 14. The victim reports to police the man threatened to hurt the dog and owner before leaving the park. An arrest has not been announced.

The two other incidents involved residents discovering their car windows had been smashed, a growing problem at Vienna parks and schools. The first incident happened Saturday, Jan. 13 between 1:15 p.m. and 1:50 p.m., and the victim's purse is missing. The second occurred Monday, Jan. 15 between 3:10 p.m. and 3:27 p.m., but nothing was reported stolen. Police previously received reports of three cars damaged at Vienna Elementary School in July and one damaged at the Cunningham Park Elementary School playground in July.
