3 juveniles admit to vandalism

Three juveniles have been identified as suspects in a string of vandalism across Shawano County late last week. A Facebook post by the Shawano County Sheriff’s Department led a parent to call in and report suspicions about their child’s involvement. The three individuals admitted to involvement in nearly all of the reported vandalism incidents. Information on the vandalism at a church in Bowler remains unsolved. Mailbox damage was reported on East Hazel Drive, County Road A, Hillview Road, Mill Creek Road, County Road G and U.S. Highway 45. Multiple stop signs were intentionally run over in the Town of Germania. Because the suspects are juveniles, their names will not be released, but a statement from the sheriff’s department said the three were issued citations and are working with property owners to repair the damage. Anyone noticing property damage, even if it seems minor, is encouraged to contact the sheriff’s department. Also, anyone with information about the church vandalism can contact Deputy Chase Mason at 715-526-3111 or chase.mason@shawanocountywi.gov.
