12 vehicles, pool vandalized in Ansonia

ANSONIA — Police are investigating a rash of vandalism to vehicles parked on Sunset Drive, Lt. Andrew Cota said today.
Police learned Sunday that 12 vehicles that had been damaged in the area. Most of the damage consisted of broken windows and a few of the vehicles also had slashed tires.
In addition, Cota said a resident of Ridge Road sustained damage to their pool. It appears as if the vandal or vandals stabbed the pool with a sharp object, believed to be a knife, and caused the water to come out of the pool. The damage is believed to total thousands of dollars.
No suspects have been identified but witnesses reported there was a group of four to five people that were seen in the area at the time of the vandalism.
Seymour police used a canine in a bid to locate the suspects. The canine was able to track to a wooded area on Woodlawn Avenue, but no suspects were located.
It appears as if the vandalism spree started on Hubbell Avenue and continued north onto Sunset Drive and then onto Ridge Road and Morningside Drive, police said. The suspects are then believed to have fled onto Underhill Road and then onto Gardner’s Lane to Woodlawn Avenue and into the wooded area.
The time frame for the vandalism is between the hours of 2 and 4 a.m. Sunday, police said.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police at 203-735-1885 and ask for Cota.
