Hull Police Arrest and Charge Man Following Several Acts of Vandalism

HULL — Chief John Dunn reports that the Hull Police Department has arrested a man who turned himself into police after he allegedly vandalized several businesses and vehicles over the weekend.

MICHAEL HASKINS, AGE 26, OF HULL is charged with 12 counts of Vandalizing Property.

Hull Police were investigating the vandalism incidents that occurred late Saturday night and after midnight on Sunday in the area of the Kenberma shopping district, Nantasket Avenue, Newport Road and Touraine Avenue.

In total, there were 12 acts of vandalism with an estimated $5,000 worth of damage. Five storefront windows and doors were broken, along with damage done to seven motor vehicles.

While police were actively investigating the incidents, at approximately 8:40 p.m. Monday, a man who identified himself as HASKINS turned himself in at the Hull Police Station.

As part of the subsequent investigation, HASKINS’ parents consented to allow investigators into their home where they seized the clothing that HASKINS had been wearing that night. The clothes had blood on them and HASKINS also had an injury and cuts on one of his hands.

On the initial call, police officers followed a trail of blood that led from one business to another that had been vandalized.

The clothes that were seized from the home match the clothes that HASKINS was seen wearing in surveillance footage obtained by police at one of the businesses that was vandalized.

HASKINS is expected to be arraigned today at Hingham District Court.

These are allegations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty.

PEPPERELL — Chief David Scott reports that the Pepperell Police Department identified and charged a suspect in connection with vandalism found on the covered bridge in town and signage at Prudence Wright Overlook.

JOSHUA CHISHOLM, AGE 29, OF LOWELL, AND FORMERLY OF PEPPERELL, is charged with two counts of Vandalizing Property.

Over the last month, Pepperell Sgt. Alan Lessieur worked with detectives from the Tewksbury Police Department to identify a suspect after Tewksbury Police discovered several cases of vandalism that included markings similar to those found in Pepperell.

“I’d like to commend Sgt. Lessieur and the members of the Tewksbury Police Department for working together to identify this individual,” Chief Scott said.
