DERBY — Police are looking for someone they say vandalized five mailboxes in Derby with an axe.
This morning, police took a report of multiple mailboxes that were vandalized along the length of Derby Pond Road.
They say the incident occurred sometime overnight.
The mailboxes had been either knocked over or damaged with a blunt object and an axe.
Police say the suspect left evidence at the scene indicating it was likely the work of a male who may be large or tall in stature.
