Park Damaged by Lead Footed Drivers

(Union Mills, IN) - A La Porte County park was damaged Thursday night by vehicles doing burnouts.

 

About 11 p.m., the La Porte County Sheriff's Office was called to Union Mills on a report of two vehicles racing.  Upon arrival, there were no vehicles there.  However, there were ruts and other marks in the ground from spinning tires at Mill Pond Park.

 

Police said the damage was in the grass parking area, the volleyball court made of sand and the gravel driving lanes.

 

A nearby resident told officers she heard the revving of engines but was not able to describe the vehicles since it was dark outside and her distance from the park. 

 

Police said an effort will be made to find any surveillance video that might exist to try and come up with leads in the case.
