A quiet North Royalton neighborhood was disrupted early last month when a group of juveniles was caught on camera smashing a resident's front window. The incident, which took place on the tranquil Villa Grande Drive, was captured by home surveillance equipment, leaving the neighborhood on alert and looking for answers.
According to the North Royalton Police Department's Facebook page, the vandalism occurred at approximately 1:50 a.m. on August 9. The footage shows 5-6 juvenile males, who, after committing the act, were seen running southbound from the scene. The residency on Villa Grande Drive became suddenly vulnerable – its sense of safety shattered as abruptly as the glass of the window that night. In what may be a related occurrence, several juveniles were also spotted hurrying from Angelina Drive toward Villa Grande Drive, suggesting a larger picture the police are still piecing together.
Investigations are ongoing, as North Royalton detectives appeal to the public for any leads. "If you have any information regarding the identity of the juvenile males seen in these videos, please contact the North Royalton Police Department Detective Bureau," the department urged, offering the direct line (440-582-6216) for any tips that could assist in identifying the suspects.
