ARRESTS MADE IN PROPERTY DAMAGE CRIMES (August 15, 2006) The Hanover Sheriff’s Office has arrested three Hanover teenagers in connection with a series of residential break-ins, vandalisms, larcenies, and other criminal acts that have occurred over the past two months. Three juveniles, two ages 17, and one age 16 were charged on Sunday in connection with a string of incidents dating back to June 16. The Sheriff’s Office has documented three residential break-ins, two aggravated assaults involving the shooting of pedestrians with pellet guns, one incident of shooting into an occupied dwelling, and multiple incidents of vandalism and larceny from vehicles. These incidents occurred in several Hanover County neighborhoods including Ashcreek, Milestone, Foxhead, and Totopotomoy. Those arrested for these acts reside in the affected neighborhoods. The damage to private property is estimated in the thousands of dollars. The Sheriff’s Office has already recorded many of the incidents, but would like for anyone who has not contacted the Sheriff’s Office to do so and provide any additional information regarding property damage and repair cost for use in the prosecution of these individuals. They may call 365-6140 or go to hanoversheriff.com and click on the link for mailbox and vehicle vandalisms to send an e-mail to the Investigative Division.
