State College Police are investigating four cases of criminal mischief and vandalism that could be related.
It happened in the College Heights neighborhood on Sunday night.
Though police don’t have evidence linking the four crimes together, they all occurred within the same area of town at roughly the same time — over a few hours between 9:30 p.m. and 2 a.m. Police say a house on North Allen Street had a softball-sized hole through a picture window. At a house on Ferguson Avenue, a yard statue was used to break the front window.
A broken window was reported at a second house on North Allen Street and a lamppost was damaged at a home on McKee Street.
Police also received other reports of vandalism on Sunday night, including a car that was keyed while parked along Stratford Drive and a mailbox that was vandalized on East Beaver Avenue.
Police advise residents to immediately call the police if they think someone may be vandalizing their property. Identification of vandals largely depends on eyewitness accounts, making investigations more difficult if police aren’t notified right away.
The State College police department can be reached at 814-234-7150.
