Three of four teenage boys were identified by a surveillance camera as pool hoppers using a swimming pool and leaving garbage, including beer cans, on the property of a home over a two week period, Darien police said. A fountain on the property had also been damaged, but police didn’t have evidence to charge anyone with that, and the boys denied they had anything to do with it, police said. Darien police provided this additional information about the matter, including accusations not proven in court:

The groundskeeper of a property on the 500 block of Middlesex Road, across the street from the town’s Highland Farm property, contacted police at 8:48 a.m., Saturday, July 27. He said that for the previous two weeks someone had been using the swimming pool and leaving garbage on the property. He also said damage had been done to a piece of a fountain on the grounds.
