Police Seek Help Finding Mailbox Vandals

Merrimack Police are seeking help in figuring out who damaged a number of mailboxes in the Beebe Lane/Colman Path neighborhood overnight.

According to a press release sent Thursday afternoon, Officer Daniel Jacques discovered several mailboxes that had been damaged while on patrol of the neighborhood off S. Baboosic Lake Road around 3 a.m. April 25.

The area was checked, and no suspects were located.

Around the loop neighborhood, at least half a dozen mailboxes were missing or their wooden posts cracked.

On Thursday afternoon, one Beebe Lane resident was out reinforcing the bottom of the wooden post waiting for a new mailbox to be attached to it. He said the vandals had taken the post out near the base. He'd spent the better part of the afternoon replacing the post.

Though he said he'd heard of other similar instances of vandalism in town, and other things, like car window being shot out, he said this was the first time in 30 years in the neighborhood that anything like this had happened to his family.

Merrimack Police are asking anyone who may have information that could lead to the arrest and prosecution of the person(s) involved to call the department’s dispatch center at 603-424-3774 or if they wish to remain anonymous they can contact the Merrimack Crimeline at 603-424-2424.
