LaPorte County Police are looking for multiple people who they believe vandalized and stole several items from the home of a 72-year-old Vietnam War veteran. Officers say that over the past week, guns, prescription drugs, and a large amount of scrap metal have been taken from the property along 3rd Line Road in the Kingsbury Industrial Park. On top of that, several vehicles reportedly had their windows shattered and one vehicle was flipped over.
Police say the victim was away visiting family at the time. They believe the crimes were committed by multiple people in different vehicles. One person reportedly claimed to be the victim’s grandson when he was confronted by another subject.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective James Lear at (219) 326-7700, ext. 2410 or jlear@lcso.in.gov.
