Wexford
Village Park shelter
|
Around
the 1st of May, as I was driving east on Sawmill Rd
I noticed two youth on top of the park shelter roof.
It was mid day on a school day and I thought that
the situation was inappropriate. The youth appeared
to be about middle school age and they were throwing
things from the roof. They had gained access by stacking
two picnic tables on top of each other. I called the
Madison Police Dept non emergency number and a squad
car appeared in about 10-15 minutes. I observed that
an of
ficer made contact with the youth and I departed the

Road |
incident:
At approximately 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, November

I looked out a front window and noticed a young
male, tall, thin, stoop-shouldered, wearing a gray
knit cap, climbing onto the back seat of a moving
vehicle headed west on Sawmill Road. The vehicle
may have been a light-colored late model jeep. I
opened the front door and notice that all of our
front landscape lights had been beheaded.
action:
I called the non-emergency number and requested
that an officer check the scene/neighborhood. Since
I did not have a detailed description of the vehicle
or suspect, dispatch could only file a report. I
mentioned that I live across from Wexford
Park and that our neighborhood has been the target
of too much vandalism and juvenile delinquency.

robin's egg was thrown/shot against the rear of

gash was punched through the aluminumsiding. (The
siding is new, having been replaced 2 years ago.)
The stone had to be thrown/shot from Apple Hill

guess that the event happened after 2:45 PM.

were able to interrupt any theft of items. There were
at least 2 people, only able to determine 1 to be
young/teen male by his voice. The garage/driveway
lights were on at the time. It is possible they had
a car parked a street over and were walking the block
checking for open cars. Shortly after a dark colored

Chesterton Circle stopped by our driveway to watch
us checking over our car, then drove off. |
