Four arrested in connection to vandalism spree in Kent County

Four people are facing charges after they were reportedly linked to a vandalism spree that happened earlier in February, throughout southern Kent County.

Delaware State Police say the incidents happened between Friday, February 6th through Monday, February 9th, in the overnight hours, with multiple reports of criminal mischief to cars, and mailboxes. Troopers say they found a total of 38 incidents, with damage to car frames, windows, and lights, along with mailboxes.

The $8,5000 worth of damages reportedly happened in the areas of South Dover, Camden, Magnolia, and Frederica.

Police say during the investigation, Detectives were able to find surveillance footage of one of the incidents in the Quail Landing development in Magnolia, which showed a silver Chrysler Cruise driving slowly through the neighborhood, while its passengers damaged vehicles. Later, a victim apparently saw the car again in the Dover area, and was able to give investigators license plate information, which Police say they were then able use to identify the owner.

Detectives say they contacted the owner, who informed them that his 17-year old son was driving the vehicle at the time. Police apparently met with the teen, who gave the identities of the three others involved.

On Friday, 22-year-old Justin Bohle, of Dover, 19-year-old Ryan Lindale, of Camden, and 19-year-old Charles Cohee, of Felton, along with the 17-year-old all turned themselves in at Troop 3. They were each charged with 38 counts of criminal mischief, 37 counts of conspiracy 3rd degree, and one counts of criminal trespass 3rd degree.

The 17-year-old was released to the custody of his parents, while the other three were released on unsecured bonds.
