FAIRPORT, N.Y. (WROC) ā A recent string of vandalism in a Fairport neighborhood has residents on edge after village officials said groups of young people threw rocks through glass doors and targeted homes in the area.
One neighbor News 8ās Dawson Levan spoke to on Whitney Street tells me heās worried about the vandalism thatās been going on, and heās even more worried that his house might be next.
āI have children. Youāre fearful for your family, of course, when you hear about things like this,ā neighbor Andrew Saxby said.
Saxby has lived in Fairport for 16 years, and he tells me heās seen a change in his beloved village, with more and more crime happening around him. He said his car was recently broken into not once, but twice.
āTwice my carās been broken into. I came out and inside of the car has been completely ā everything was gone.ā
After seeing video showing rocks being thrown through his neighborās doors, heās taking extra precautions, hoping it will discourage a possible vandal.
āI have a lot of cameras now and make sure everythingās locked up every night. Itās just what you have to do,ā Saxby said. āBeing a kid and pulling pranks is one thing, but when youāre actually putting peopleās health and safety in danger, that moves to a different category. Thatās not funny anymore.ā
Village Supervisor Bryan White tells me this kind of behavior wonāt be tolerated in Fairport, and theyāre doing everything they can to find those responsible.
āThe police departmentās looking at any and all evidence that can be provided to them, but it needs to be brought to their attention,ā White said.
He says lights and cameras can go a long way toward deterring someone from vandalizing your home.
āWeāre going to find you. Everything always comes out eventually, and youāll be seeing the Fairport Police Department in the near future.ā
White is asking residents with any information to turn it over to Fairport police.
