On the evening of Saturday, 12-10-11, a vandalism spree occurred in Angels Camp, where a total of twelve victims had windows on either their cars or homes broken by a projectile that was believed to have been fired at the windows with a sling shot. In the original press release there were nine victims reported, but over the course of several days after the initial report, three additional victims came forward. The total loss in these cases is estimated to be approximately $6,100.00.
Through the cooperation of victims, community and local business members, and with the aid of video surveillance from a local retailer, three suspects were identified and arrested on 12-23-11. All three suspects admitted their involvement and confirmed that sling shots were used in the vandalisms.
Two of the three arrested are juveniles, a 16-year-old Angels Camp resident and a 17-year-old Angels Camp resident. Both were cited and released to the custody of their parents and are required to contact juvenile probation for follow-up.
A 19-year-old, Tyler R. Brunson of Angels Camp, was arrested and booked into the Calaveras County Jail on multiple charges related to the 12 counts of vandalism, criminal conspiracy, and contributing to the delinquency of minors.
