$300 Reward Offered for Rock-Throwing Vandals

The Whitefish Bay School District has had to spend $8,580 this month to replace windows that were broken by vandals.

In the first incident, two rocks were thrown through windows on the west side of the field house lobby between 9 p.m. June 8 and 7:30 a.m. on June 9. The cost to replace the two windows was $5,080.

Shortly after the district replaced the windows, they were broken with rocks again. The second incident occurred between 9 p.m. on  June 17 and 7 a.m. on June 18. The cost to replace the windows the second time around totaled $3,500. 

The district is offering $300 to anyone who provides information about who did the damage – provided that information leads to either that person or persons reimbursing the district for their losses or a prosecution by the Whitefish Bay Police Department.  

Anyone with information can either call Whitefish Bay Community Liaison Officer David Hryniewicki at 962-3830 between 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. They can also contact Shawn Yde, the school district's director of business services, at 963-3903.

Hryniewicki said the district's first priority is to recoup their lost funds. If that cannot be done, then legal action will be sought.
