Two fields were ruined, Sweeny said, and three fields were damaged. Two were left untouched. The minivan, which had extensive damage, was left in the middle of one of the fields with the headlights on, Sweeny said. It was discovered at 5 a.m. Wednesday. Police said the person responsible will be charged with felony criminal mischief and stealing the car, Sweeny said.
Police have no suspects.
Insurance will not cover the damage, said Little League President Dan Prietti. The league's policy does not cover vandalism, he said. The city can't afford the bill, Jennings said. The park's safety funds will be used to repair the damage, and other programs may suffer as a result, he said. Repairs should be made within a week, he said.
