Sometime just before 11 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 5 the driver of a sport utility vehicle drove erratically onto the grassy areas of Tilley Pond Park, damaging the lawn and going over two tree stumps before leaving, Darien police said. When police arrived, the SUV had already left. Somebody who saw the vehicle called police to tell them it was a Lexus SUV, and gave police a license plate number. But when police checked it out, the vehicle it was registered to didn’t match the description of the vehicle.

The rear passenger’s side window of a vehicle parked outside a house on Phillips Lane was found smashed on Tuesday, May 22, apparently by an act of vandalism sometime overnight. At 7:02 a.m., a woman told police about the damage. There didn’t appear to be anything missing in the vehicle, she said, including $8 in cash in the front-seat cup holders. Nothing else was damaged, and police weren’t able to learn anything more when they spoke with neighbors.
