Goshen police say they’ve identified three suspects accused of vandalizing Myron C. Urbanski Town Park on Craigville Road — and it didn’t take long.
Investigators posted security camera photos to the department’s Facebook page asking for help identifying the trio seen in the park. Within an hour, police said their phones were “blowing up” with calls from community members.
“Thank you to all of our Facebook Detectives who broke this case wide open within an hour,” the department wrote in a follow-up post, adding that the “phones were blowing up.”
Police say one of the suspects has already turned himself in, while the other two have been positively identified.
In an earlier post, the department warned the individuals directly: “If this is you, call our station immediately. We have photos of your Nissan Sentra too. It’s just a matter of time. Tick tick tick. Time to grow up and face the consequences man to man.”
The department later thanked residents for their “swift and cooperative response,” saying the incident was resolved quickly thanks to the community’s help.
“This serves as a strong reminder that when our community and law enforcement work together, results are both swift and certain,” police wrote.
No further details about the damage or charges have been released.
