Monday, July 9
5:24 p.m. A resident on Henderson Road reported that a piece of heavy machinery was vandalized. The machinery had dirt dumped in the radiator and engine. Dirt was also shoved into the gear oil and gauges on the machine were broken. The machinery was being used by a contractor to construct a bulkhead for a waterfront home.
The owner of the machinery had no suspect information, but the homeowner suspected someone with an environmental agenda or others of doing the damage because bulkheads can be harmful to fish habitat.
