Vandals are at it again at the new Homestead Development between North Lincoln and Pitt School Roads, shattering the glass on barn lanterns hung above the rustic words 'Homestead,' marring pedestrian crossing signs with bright pink paint, and stealing the large metal letter 'H' on the welcome signs this past couple weeks. Officer David Thompson who cruises by regularly said there had not been an “uptick in crime in that area” but that could be because each of the Realtors handling the home sales thought someone else was calling in the trouble or hadn’t noticed. “It’s frustrating,” said Realtor Rick Plaster for Richmond-American Homes who did notice and said large rocks have been thrown by vandals through expensive windows in their area. Although he’s sure the wayward humans will calm down when people move in, they are now considering installing cameras like they have in their other communities that set high up and catch everything, he said.
