On Wednesday, April 6, the Andover Police Department received a complaint of criminal mischief to construction equipment at a pit located on Bridge Road.  Upon arriving at the pit, officers met with the property owner, who showed them multiple pieces of equipment that had windows smashed out of them by rocks being thrown at them, as well as damaging a door to one of the pieces of equipment.

It is believed that the vandalism took place on April 6 between the hours of 10 AM and 1:30 PM.
