Vandals rampage in Sisters

Vandals hit several businesses and vehicles in downtown Sisters on Saturday night, October 21.

According to sheriff's office reports, someone -- or several people -- poured red, sticky liquid over a post office van, into the mail drop box at the Sisters Post Office, into a vending machine and over the doors and windows of several businesses.

They also apparently tried to stuff a burning newspaper into the mail drop box and set fire to notices on a bulletin board in front of another business.

The vandals also broke signs, painted graffiti and carved up outdoor furniture with a knife.

Users of "the Hangar" behind Sisters Community Church reported several broken windows, with the vandalism or attempted break-ins occurring at intervals over three weeks.

Sisters Elementary School principal Tim Comfort reported damage to playground equipment earlier in the week.

Deputies reported no solid leads on Monday, but the incidents are under investigation.
