Local Soccer Club’s Fields Turfed


Location of Incident: Kirkwood Soccer Club, 1220 River Road, New Castle, Delaware, New Castle County

Date and Time of Occurrence: Saturday, July 18th, 2009, at approximately 10:30 p.m.

Suspect(s): Four juvenile white males

Resume: On Monday, July 20th, an official affiliated with the Kirkwood Soccer Club responded to work and found that several of the club’s fields were turfed. A further inspection deemed the damage was significant and would cost an estimated $10,000 to repair.

The club has a surveillance video system which showed four white males unlawfully trespassing at their facility on July 18th at approximately 10:30 p.m. The footage captures the subjects as they used a Mazda pick-up truck, belonging to the Kirkwood Soccer Club, to turf the fields. The truck was parked at the facility. The keys were not kept with the truck; however, they did in fact go missing about three weeks prior to this incident.

After the damage was done to the grounds, the juvenile suspects put the truck back in its original parking space. Before they fled the scene, the suspects proceeded to smash out the windows to the Mazda.

The surveillance video is not available at this time and could possibly be disseminated at the end of the week. In the meantime, anyone with information pertaining to this case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.
