July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
A rash of vandalism was discovered in a Warsaw neighborhood after a Reed Street resident reported a boat was blocking an alley behind her home.
Warsaw police responded to the 4:01 a.m. call on Sunday and found a large boat blocking the alley. Two officers moved the boat as far out of the lane of travel as they could, but the boat was reportedly still partially in the alleyway.
A little further down the alley, police found a dumpster on its side and notified the street department to have it uprighted. Also, a car belonging to Robert James Cover Sr., East Clark Street, was found tipped on its side and the two officers and Cover were able to put it back on its wheels. The Warsaw Fire Department was called to clean up some oil spilled onto the street from the car. Damage to Cover's car was estimated at $300.
Other vandalism in the area included:
• Windows broken on vehicles belonging to Maxine A.Wiley, Amy Jo Whitley and Anna Lee Herron, all of East Fort Wayne Street; David Simpson, East Main Street,; and Charles B. Sleeth, North Tamarack Street.
• A window broken and purse stolen from a vehicle belonging to Bruce H. Andrews, South CR 550W, Warsaw.
• A garage window broken at the residence of Ruth Ann Kemper, East Fort Wayne Street.
• A swingset pushed over in the 700 block of East Clark Street.
Damage is estimated at more than $1,500 total.
The woman who called in the original complaint said she saw four people move the boat in the alley and she recognized and could identify at least one of them. [[In-content Ad]]
