Vandals destroy Norco park lights

Vandals apparently shot out several lights at the Norco ball field on Fifth Street, leading St. Charles Parish officials to ask anyone with information about the incident to come forward.

St. Charles Parish Risk Manager Monique Granier said the lights were likely shot out with a pellet gun, considering the poles reach heights of 45 to 50 feet.

This is the second time this year such vandalism has occurred at the park. In April, all the field lights were shot out, with the parish spending $6,000 to complete repairs in-house.

“Not only are these repairs costly, they are also hampering the efforts of the St. Charles Parish Recreation Department to provide programming – including baseball and softball games – in the Norco area,” St. Charles Parish Parks and Recreation Director Duane Foret said.

Anyone with information should call the St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office at (985) 783-6807.
