Criminal Mischief Reported at the Field of Dreams in Absecon – 10/15/14

The Absecon Police Department is investigating a criminal mischief complaint which occurred at the Field of Dreams playground area located in the Absecon Sports Complex - 1000 Morton Ave.

Police responded to the Field of Dreams on Tuesday October 14 at 3:30pm, for a report of criminal mischief. Caretakers of the field and playground area advised police that someone poured Canola Oil all over the special needs playground equipment, making the metal and plastic surfaces slippery and unable to use.
