Vandals hit Freeland school buses
Vandals hit Freeland school buses over the weekend and did approximately $20,000 in damage. It appears that the destruction was done by someone who also knew about engines, as the brake lines and other lines inside the buses were cut. Mirrors were smashed and seats were also slashed on the buses inside, while tires were slashed on the outside. Other maintenance vehicles on the school grounds were also damaged.
In order to get to the buses, someone had to climb or get under a twenty foot high fence. Video cameras on the site may lead to police getting more information on the suspects. If you have any information, call Tittabawassee Township police.
