Bernardsville Police Still Looking For Mailbox Vandals

Bernardsville Police still were seeking the culprit or culprits who damaged more than 40 mailboxes total in the Bernardsville mountain area in late March and early April. However, no similar incidents had been reported as of late last week, said Police Lt. Demmings Hoadley.

The second, most recent spree of mailbox vandalism on Bernardsville mountain apparently occurred overnight from April 2-3, according to reports from Bernardsville Police, who are asking residents' assistance in finding a culprit or culprits.

Eighteen mailboxes reportedly were smashed overnight on Chapin Road, Dryden Road, Post Kunhardt Road, Ballantine Road and Mine Mount Road, Hoadley said.

Hoadley then said police had no leads and are asking residents to call in any possible relevant information, or to report any suspicious activity.

He said late this week that police still are asking for anyone with information to call police at 908-766-0037. Those who witness vandalism taking place have been asked to call 9-1-1.

About two weeks earlier, borough police with most of the mailboxes at the end of driveways not easily visible from the residences.

Hoadley said previously that mailbox vandalism is a sporadic problem in the borough.
