Police have reported seven separate incidents where signs have been destroyed or stolen.

Law enforcement said they have identified juveniles as responsible for the damage at Firefighters Park in the Parkland section of the township. They have security camera footage of the incident.

The remaining incidents occurred at locations, including Juniper Hill, Frosty Hollow, Quincy Hollow (playground and New Falls), Cobalt Ridge at Walter Miller, and Buck Hill Farms.

“Apparently, we have a rash of people who have taken a keen interest in destroying township property and we are hoping that you can point us in the right direction,” the Middletown Township Police Department stated in a Facebook post.

Police are asking residents who may have security footage from the impacted areas to come forward, which could help narrow down the dates and times of the incidents.

The department warned that anyone caught destroying or stealing township property will face charges.

“Getting Facebook Famous for ruining the neighborhoodโ€™s property likely wonโ€™t sit well with your neighbors,” the department said. “Please, practice your Hulk Smash on safer targetsโ€ฆmight we suggest a pillow? Perhaps an actual punching bag would satisfy the urge?”

“It really is a shame to see stuff like this and we are hoping this comes to an immediate halt,” the department added.
