Sussex County- The Delaware State Police have handled numerous reports of criminal mischief to vehicles and business windows, and are seeking the public’s assistance.
The reports of criminal mischief began in late March 2020, in the County Seat Gardens Mobile Home Park area and have since spread throughout the central Sussex County areas. Multiple incidents have been reported in which vehicle and business windows have been shot at with what appears to be a BB gun or are being struck by some type of blunt force object. In theses cases, the suspect(s) motive appears to be criminal mischief related only, as items have not been stolen.
The State Police is asking anyone with information to please contact Troop 4, at 302-856-5850. Information may also be provided by calling Delaware crime stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333 or via the internet at http://www.delaware.crimestoppersweb.com
