A housewarming “gift” of an unusual kind awaited the new arrivals at a house on Waverly Road in the Noroton Bay neighborhood two weeks ago: Windows smashed and about 10 lacrosse balls inside the house.

On Saturday, July 16, the new homeowners found multiple windows of the house broken, including one large window about 6 1/2 feet high by 8 1/2 feet wide.

Three days before, a neighbor had seen a young male in the back yard of the property throw something just before hearing glass break. The neighbor yelled at the male, who ran off. The neighbor didn’t recognize him.

Boys living nearby later admitted to damaging the windows. The new homeowners told police they didn’t want to press charges, and they’d initially been reluctant to report the incident, but an official of the Noroton Bay Association suggested that they file a report.

A previous incident involving broken windows had been mentioned in an email sent to members of the association.
