Police have recovered the vehicle seen in surveillance video damaging a field at a West Haven school earlier this week and suspects have been identified, according to officers.
When police arrived, they said they saw tire marks in the field area and damage to a chain link fence.
Investigators said they later obtained surveillance videos showing the vandalism. According to police, one of the videos shows a four-door pickup truck with overhead running lights and a utility box mounted in the bed driving on the field then through the fence line. The vehicle's exhaust noise can be heard as it exited the field.
On Saturday, officers said they found the vehicle seen in the surveillance video damaging the field. Police have recovered the 2004 Chevrolet-Silverado and it is now in the custody of West Haven Police Department. The vehicle had previously been reported stolen out of East Haven, police added.
The suspects responsible for driving the vehicle and causing damage to the school property have been identified and multiple arrests are expected at the end of the investigation, police said. Since the suspects are juveniles, their identities are not being released at this time, officers added.
The investigation is ongoing.
