A member of the Henrico Board of Supervisors said a community meeting is planned with police to address a recent spate of vandalism and break-ins in Sandston.
Henrico County Board of Supervisors Chairman Tyrone Nelson, who represents the county's Varina district, said in a video posted to social media Saturday afternoon that neighbors reported several break-ins a "couple of weeks ago."
"A couple dozen of them — up to 30 or more," Nelson said. "Somebody was riding through the community, had an air gun, shooting out windows, breaking into people's vehicles in Sandston."
Nelson said police may have persons of interest, but that he could not elaborate because of the ongoing investigation.
"One person or maybe two in a vehicle riding around shooting our windows, shooting at school buses, just being stupid," Nelson said. "Stupid, immature activity that has impacted you. And we're sorry that happened. And we're trying to get to the bottom of it."
