A summer of mischief continues.

Days after vandals caused upwards of $1 million in damage to construction equipment in Allenwood, police have reported similar incidents elsewhere in trhe region.

Two area teens are facing charges they broke into a West Buffalo Township barn last month and damaged four tractors and a skid loader, including bending engine parts and injecting soapy water in the fuel and oil tanks.

Lenard Martin, 19, of 2045 Swengle Road, Mifflinburg and Curbin Oberholtzer, 18, of 117 Cold Run Road, Millmont, were each charged with burglary, agricultural vandalism, loitering and prowling at night and theft by unlawful taking, according to affidavits filed through District Judge Jeffrey Mensch’s office in Mifflinburg.

The teens allegedly broke into a barn owned by Allen Zimmerman sometime overnight July 16 to July 17, where they damaged four farm tractors and a skid loader by removing and bending engine, specifically wiring systems and oil gauges, state police at Milton said.

Zimmerman said he had been victimized in a similar fashion in the past, according to state police.

Martin and Oberholtzer have preliminary hearings scheduled later this month.

Stolen golf carts

Five golf carts were stolen from Shade Mountain Golf Course near Middleburg late Friday night by joyriders who wrecked three of the vehicles and left them abandoned.

Golf professional Brad Brubaker said five golf carts that were left outside in preparation for Saturday’s tournament were stolen by unidentified people sometime around midnight.

Two of the carts were abandoned along Coon Hunter Road in Paxtonville and one was found in National Limestone Quarry in Middleburg. All three had been damaged, Brubaker said.

Two golf carts were returned to the golf course.

Maintenance workers were assessing the damage and state police at Selinsgrove and Middleburg police were investigating.

Damaged construction equipment

Late Tuesday or early Wednesday, someone went to a site on Creek Road in White Deer Township, Union County, and caused $1,700 to two vehicles.
