Great Job by the Vermont State Police and the Canine unit!  Kudos to the team! 

[Mummy]

Good team work from the Community who REPORTED this activity to the State Police.  We all need to be mindful of suspicious activity everywhere we go.  Information is powerful.  If the State Police have the information, they can act on it.  Otherwise it is a successful crime which will lead to more crime!

Congratulations to Chris Santee for the detailed account of the Vandalism done last Thursday night in Town....Chris had information that no one else had.  I was going to link you to it, but believe Chris must have removed it - He had a lot of details regarding the search and how the vandals were apprehended that were not in the Messenger.  The Messenger delayed their report a day while waiting for the Police Report.
