Sussex Pointe Vandalism is getting very serious. Please pass this information on.
I realize vandalism to your home or neighborhood is frustrating but be very careful if you go looking for the people responsible. Accusing or going after someone not involved can have serious consequences.

Homes in our neighborhood had huge rocks from the drainage ditch thrown into their garages around midnight tonight….
The three of us left in our cars and drove around looking for anything suspicious. Police reports were filed. In the process, we learned there has been a white Ford Focus seen driving through the neighborhood with its lights off at high speeds–it has also been seen driving through Covington with people shooting fireworks at kids. We found out that two juniors at PHS–one from Covington and one from Devonshire–along with one from Sussex Pointe–run with a large group of high school students that are known for vandalism. One of these students was arrested last year (the police knew the name when we filed the police reports).
On July 5 at 2 a.m., our garbage can was set on fire and was completely melted and actually melted some of the asphalt. Both the police and fire dept. came out. A police report was filed.
The three county cops said they arrested 27 high school kids last summer for criminal mischief from Granger…mostly from our nearby subdivisions.
We shared contact info and will be looking out for each others’ properties since we’re in close proximity.
We may be putting our home on the market.
Please share with other homeowners since I have just a few of the email addresses.
Signed
Sussex Pointe Homeowner
