VANDALS SHATTER GLASS. It was trick not treat which marred Halloween for several local residents when vandals smashed windows at several sites.

In back of Montgomery Ward all windows (barred) were completely smashed, with evidence of blood that some injury was sustained in the process to one of the vandals. The heavy door was kicked but entry was not gained.

The incident was tied up with damage to 14 glass panes in the entrance of the Loma Theater.

The door was broken into the foyer and the candy counter smashed. Little candy was taken.

Also the Dr. Bobby Perry residence was damaged when a rock was thrown through the window. Sgt. Pete Archuleta investigated all incidents.

THREE CRASHED VEHICLES sit at the Intersection of Otero Avenue and Sixth Street just after 5:30 p.m. Thursday. According to the Socorro Police Department, there were no major injuries and no one was transported to the hospital.

The crash happened when the white Mazda was headed south on Sixth Street and failed to stop for the stop sign. It struck the Dodge Ram in the rear as the pickup was headed west on Otero. The impact pushed the pickup into the other lane so it hit the Pontiac Grand Prix.

The driver of the Mazda was ticketed for not stopping at the stop sign and alcohol was not a factor in the wreck.
