Police Investigate Vandalism, Thefts

Sidney police are continuing their investigation into a series of vandalisms on Sidney’s north side.

Police Lt. Keith Andrew said the department does have a suspect in the vandalisms, where mirrors were broken off of vehicles and a number of mailboxes were damaged, although charges have yet to be filed.

The department is also investigating thefts from around homes in town, again mostly on the north side.

Lt. Andrew said items have been taken from yards and areas outside of homes, calling the thefts “crimes of opportunity.”

Andrew said residents can help avoid such thefts by securing items when possible.

Police are continuing their investigation into the thefts.
