Geneva police report a small amount of criminal damage so far this spring.
There haven't been a lot of criminal damage reports so far this spring—maybe because the weather's been so lousy. If past years are any measure, we can expect these reports to increase as the weather gets nicer and go into a higher gear once school gets out. Criminal Damage to Property—Someone damaged three tires on two vehicles between 10 p.m. April 20 and 7 a.m. April 21 in the 400 block of Fourth Street, reports said. Damage was estimated at about $210. The front driver’s side tire was damaged on a Buick Rendezvous and two driver’s side tires were damaged on a Ford Taurus.

Batavia blotter includes property damage to churches and one unusual case in which the force of hurled liquid from a speeding car breaks a driver's-side mirror.
It sounds like a harmless prank, but apparently, throwing liquid out a speeding car can cause more than a little bit of damage—and could cause a much-more serious accident. A group of teenagers in a silver, four-door vehicle threw a cup of red liquid out the window and broke the driver’s-side mirror of another vehicle at Hart Road and Wind Energy Pass in Batavia, according to a report filed at 6:05 p.m. April 11, Batavia police reports said. The estimated cost to replace the mirror is $150, and the report did not indicate any persons were hurt. In other area criminal damage reports, two Batavia churches were hit with graffiti or criminal damage ind the past 10 days: Criminal Damage to Property—Someone broke a window at the First Baptist …
