Jumping Juveniles Damage SUV

A female juvenile reported that between 7:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. on May 17, several other juveniles caused damage to a rented SUV she was driving by climbing onto the hood and roof of the SUV as the driver pulled into the village commuter lot north of the railroad tracks between Washington and Lincoln streets, police said.

The driver of the car was not aware of the damage caused to the vehicle until it was returned to the rental agency. An estimate of the damage was not available when the report was made. Nobody has been charged in relation to the incident.

Sticky School Situation

Two unknown male subjects attempted to glue shut 18 of the more than 30 exterior doors at Hinsdale Central between 11:59 p.m. May 20 and 12:32 a.m. May 21, police said.

The offenders were captured by the school’s video surveillance system applying the glue from outside the building, but Deputy Chief Mark Wodka said neither has yet been identified.

No permanent damage was done by the offenders. Deputy Chief Mark Wodka said school staff was able to clean up the glue later that day. The deputy chief could not confirm that the gluing was some sort of end-of-the-school-year prank.

"Not knowing conclusively, I can't suggest that that’s what it was," Wodka said.
