Mailboxes damaged in Knappa, Svensen and Brownsmead

On 07/13/2012, at around 530 AM, the Clatsop County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of Criminal Mischief.  The reporting party told the responding Deputy four mailboxes had been damaged.  The Deputy checked the area and found several other mailboxes had been damaged in the areas of Knappa, Svensen and Brownsmead.  Since then, 13 victims have come forward to report damage to their mailboxes.

During the course of the investigation, three juvenile suspects were identified and have since admitted to the crimes.  The reports for Criminal Mischief II will be forwarded to the Juvenile department pending charges.

The Sheriff's Office believes there could still be more damage that has gone unreported.  The Clatsop County Sheriff's Office is asking any residents in the Knappa, Svensen or Brownsmead areas with similar damage that occurred in the early morning hours of 07/13/2012, to contact Deputy Jason Hoover or Resident Deputy Justin Dersham with their information and estimates of the cost to replace or repair any damage. 

The Clatsop County Sheriff's Office greatly appreciates your help in this matter.
