MANCHESTER -- Vandals were seen on surveillance video breaking into a field stand used by a local soccer club recently, the fourth time in a year the club's facilities have been targeted, WABC 7 reported.Officials from the Lakehurst Manchester Soccer Association believe the four vandals were aware the field stand had been stocked with snacks for an upcoming alumni game when they broke in Sunday night, a game that raises funds for local scholarships. The break-in and theft of the food were caught on surveillance video.
"I'd like to ask them to stop," Lakehurst Manchester Soccer Association president Erik Myers told WABC 7. "It's very frustrating. It's a lot of time and money."
In addition to the theft, the suspects also damaged a door Sunday night, but in previous incidents, someone has torn up the field by driving on it, knocked down fencing and stolen poles.
The team, consisting of youth aged 3 to 16, is offering a reward to anyone who can identify the suspects, WABC 7 also reported.
