Holiday Vandalism – Fox Chase

All

We received the following email regarding an incident that occurred last weekend.  A few houses on Northampton Dr (Fox Chase) had pumpkins taken from front yards and destroyed near homes front doors or driveways.  Incident was minor and we (other neighbor involved) agreed it wasn’t a big deal…no follow up. Until I received the email from a neighbor that had home decorations destroyed. Crossed the line when someone comes to your front door and destroys property.

Please read the description to see if that matches anyone you might know. No police reports were filed. 

Eyes open. If it looks suspicious, it probably is. 

St Joseph County Police Non Emergency 574-235-9611

Our entryway had Christmas lights and garland draped over the doorway. At some point over the last few days, someone came to our front door with scissors or hand pruners and cut the wires on the lights and cut the garland. Garland is not usable anymore and the lights are destroyed.
Not a huge deal- nothing else was broken or stolen. Didn’t involve the police or anything for such a small incident

Based on the images and video, my best guess is that it is an older (~2004 to 2006) compact SUV such as a Ford Escape (most likely based on the silver trim pattern), Honda CRV, or Hyundai Santa Fe. We did however see a black and silver Santa Fe the next morning at Adams Rd and Clover that looked just like this vehicle. 

 The kid from porch running back to car – he was fast, so image at night is quite blurry.
