PUBLIC HELP NEEDED IN CLEANERS VANDALISM

Who knows why vandals do the miserable things they do?

The mayhem and senseless destruction earlier this month at Patrick's Cleaners on Broadway defies explanation.

Surely it takes a distorted mind to damage clothing and set a fire, and, in doing so, affect the lives of countless innocent victims who may have lost special and costly items.

This is one of those instances when information from the public is so vitally important.

Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for information that leads to an arrest. Callers may contact Crime Stoppers anonymously by calling 332-0500.

Anyone who has even the merest scrap of information -- even if it doesn't seem all that important -- is urged to call Crime Stoppers or the police department.

Such behavior should not be tolerated by the law-abiding citizens of this community.
