Mini crime wave: vandalism hits county

Items stolen at Dillon Elementary School

SUMMIT COUNTY — A streak of vandalism is plaguing Summit County — with multiple incidents reported from Frisco, Summit Cove and Dillon Valley.

In Frisco, two rocks were thrown through an upstairs office window of the Summit Daily News sometime Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.

According to Amy Stoehrmann, Frisco's spokeswoman, the police department has no leads.

“It could have happened anytime over the last 24 hours,” Stoehrmann said Thursday.

The Summit County Sheriff's Office received three calls reporting criminal mischief Thursday morning.

“Something is up,” said Pam Henderson, the spokesperson for Summit County Sheriff's department, on Thursday. “Two calls came in back to back. It's still open and active. There's no information as of yet.”

The Summit County Sheriff's Office is also seeking information about a break-in at the Dillon Valley Elementary School between the evening of June 18 and the afternoon of June 22. A school employee responding to a technical support request found several cables unplugged and damage to the school server. Another employee reported that several laptops were missing. Intruders also vandalized other areas of the school, including breaking “exit” signs and spraying shaving cream.

When Sheriff's deputies checked the school, they found four unlocked windows. It's suspected that the intruder or intruders entered the school through one of the windows. Additionally, a smoke alarm was activated at the school around 9 p.m. June 22. A school employee searched the school and the origin of the alarm wasn't found. A neighbor saw a man who was about 5 feet tall, wearing a light blue sweatshirt, running from the school at the same time the alarm went off.

If anyone has any information regarding these crimes, call Crime Stoppers at (866) 453-STOP. Students with information may remain anonymous by calling (877) 542-SAFE.
