OXFORD – Police are seeking information concerning vandals who destroyed about 20 mailboxes this weekend.

Lt. Jon Tibbetts said sometime late Saturday night to Sunday morning about 20 mailboxes on King Street, Skeetfield Road or Coldwater Brook Road were affected.

“This seems like an annual event,” Tibbetts said. “It happens every spring. It just shows a lack of respect for other people’s property.”

Tibbetts said the vandals could be charged with criminal mischief times 20. He said the charges could be Class D or elevated to Class C, depending on the value of the mailboxes.

He said the penalty for a Class D crime would be a fine and restitution. A Class C crime could bring a sentence of up to five years in jail and restitution.

Tibbetts asked that anyone with information call the Oxford Police at 539-4414.
