Moody, President of Northwest Little League (NWLL), hopes the suspects will be brought to justice soon.

“They’re taking things away from the kids. It’s all about the kids,” he said.

A $100.00 reward has been offered by the league for information that leads to the arrest or conviction of any suspects.

“We just want it to stop. We’re trying to do things for the kids and it’s basically hurting everything we’re trying to do,” Moody said.

Following up on Mr Moody’s statements, CPD says we need to find these individuals so that no one else falls victim to the damage these suspects have caused the kids and those who manage Stokes Field.

When the NWLL makes money from the food they sell at the concession stands, that money goes right back into the maintenance of the field and the kids.

There is a picture of a unique pair of Converse tennis shoes that were worn by one of the suspects. If anyone knows the suspects, they should be able to recognize the shoes. Other photos, showing tools used to break in and damage to the facility, are included in this release.
