Criminal mischief to fourteen cars occurred in Lot 46, next to the Village, on the night of March 5.

The damage was done to the side-view mirrors of the cars, according to Montclair State University Police Department’s Lieutenant Kieran Barrett.

“The damage appeared to be caused by an individual, or individuals, kicking the mirrors committing the crime of criminal mischief,” Barrett said.

Whoever it was that performed this act could have done it between the hours of 10:30 p.m. on Friday night, March 5, and 5:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 6.

“Multiple acts of criminal mischief that appear related such as this are rare. Criminal, mischief, itself does occur on campus largely in residence halls and at times in academic facilities,” Barrett said.

At the moment, Montclair State University is still “actively pursuing this investigation,” Barrett said.

Any knowledge of this criminal mischief incident can be reported to the Montclair State University Police Department by contacting them at (973)655-5222.
