Vandals Poke Holes in a Lower Mac Swimming Pool

Act of criminal mischief causes $400 in damage, police say.

To date, this summer in Lower Macungie Township was generally a mischievous one, but generally without much malicious damage.

Yes, several homeowners were no doubt annoyed to wake to find patio furniture floating in their pools. Presumably, a few people got a few chuckles out of the intended pranks, some homeowners got a bit steamed then got over it, but little true damage was done.

However, that changed overnight Aug. 14 and 15 when someone entered the yard at 6365 Larch Lane, according to . Between 9 p.m. and 6:15 a.m., someone punctured seven holes in the swimming pool owned by Michael Kells at that address.
