Springfield Township Police are seeking information about a white van they say was connected to more than $10,000 in damage to a home near Massillon/Krumroy Road. The department says the septic and well system and a powerbox were damaged overnight; it has not identified the van.

According to the Springfield Township Police Department, the incident happened at approximately 2 a.m. on September 22 near Massillon/Krumroy Road. The department says it needs the public’s help identifying the white van connected to the damage, which it detailed in a Facebook post titled “Attempting to identify a van.”

What Police Know So Far

The department says the damage to the septic/well system and powerbox totals more than $10,000. Its post does not explain how the damage occurred, identify a driver, or say where the van went afterward.

Private-Water-System Work

For private water systems, Summit County Public Health says drilling, altering or sealing a system requires a permit through the agency and work by a registered contractor. That general requirement does not establish what repairs this property needs or what work may be required for its septic system.

The department says it plans to post still images of the van in the comment section of its Facebook post, giving the community a visual reference as the search for leads continues. For now, the description of the vehicle remains limited to its color.

How to Help

Anyone who recognizes the van, or who has information or leads related to the incident, is asked to call the Springfield Township Police Department at 330-733-1061. Tips from residents who may have spotted an unfamiliar white van near Massillon/Krumroy Road around the time of the incident could help investigators move the case forward.
