SUMMARY OF INCIDENT: On 10/28/2023 at approximately 1200 hours, Vermont State Troopers were dispatched to a vandalism complaint at a residence on Perkins Brook Rd in the town of Rochester, in the County of Windsor. Caretaker, Pamela Mitchell reported that two gates which secured the property were taken down and damaged in the process. Mitchell last observed the property undisturbed at some point last week, then on 10/27/2023 at approximately 1530 hours Mitchell observed the gates as seen in the photos included. Both gates secure separate sides of the property leading to the residence. She included the overall repair and worth of the gates to be approximately $4,500.00. Forced entry was believed to be made based on the direction of which the gates were laying as well as other observations.
