Loretto Resident’s Home, Vehicle Vandalized
A Loretto resident sought assistance from law enforcement officers during the weekend after discovering that someone had vandalized both her vehicle and her home.
The victim, age 45, reported that she had discovered the vandalism Saturday morning, but that it had occurred sometime during the previous night.
Deputies with the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department report that the culprit had cut a screen on the back door of her home. In addition, they found that someone had cut one of her tires.
