Vandal Smashes Window Of New Vienna Home

VIENNA, VA—Reports of thefts from unlocked vehicles haven't been uncommon lately, but vandals are finding other ways to break into Vienna property.

On Nov. 10, Vienna Police discovered a window smashed at a newly-constructed home in the 600 block of Kingsley Road SW. Police did not indicate that the home was occupied. Nothing else appeared to have been disturbed.

A few days before, Vienna Police received a report of a car with a smashed window in the 600 block of Tazewell Road NW. The report did not indicate if anything was taken. Police believe the incident happened overnight between Nov. 7 and 8.
