Upon arrival the officers discovered graffiti on the wall directly behind home plate. City of Monroe Park personnel estimate damage to the property could reach $5,000.
This is the third case of graffiti at the Miracle League Field in the past couple of months. The previous damage was discovered February 21st and prior to that damage was found at the field January 21st. Police believe the vandals are working in the overnight hours aided by the cover of darkness.
“These acts, which may be intended to be “pranks,” are anything but that. Senseless damage such as this translates to significant costs to the City, and ultimately Monroe citizens. Labor costs for parks employees to repair and/or replace the damage, as well as police officer response and reporting time add up to thousands of dollars,” said Debbie Wiilis spokeswoman for the Monroe Police Department
Monroe Police request the public’s help in apprehending the person or per5sins responsible. If you know anything about these incidents, or observe similar acts, you are asked to please notify police immediately.

The Rotary Club of Monroe is offering a $500 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the acts of vandalism to the Miracle League Field, which serves the needs of disabled kids and adults in the Sky Valley area.
