- Yet Another Egg Attack On A Home, King Street, 4 a.m.
Another homeowner was roused in the wee hours of the morning by a sound he presumed was rocks being thrown at his home. Turns out it wasn’t rocks.
Police visually confirmed that egg remnants were all over the front of the property. The reporting party said he was sure the eggers sped away in a vehicle of some kind, although he was not sure what kind.
A vehicle matching the description of the earlier Lansdowne Road egging was pulled over shortly thereafter by Arlington Police.
The vehicle contained eight teenagers who said they had been watching the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight all night, and were on their way to get breakfast.
The teens agreed to let police search their vehicle, and no evidence connecting them to the eggings could be found.
- Objects Thrown at Home, Overlook Road, 4:04 a.m.
A homeowner awoke to loud crashing noises coming from the front of her house. Upon going outside to investigate, she discovered several bags of lawn debris - not eggs - had been thrown at her property. Police found no evidence of eggs on site, however they suspect this situation may be related to the incidents from earlier in the morning.
