Charged with criminal mischief and improper behavior are Scott Brandle, Nick Fabiano, Tristan Harris, Jonathan Herrera, Edward Klitnick and Karl Szymanski. The teenagers, five from Bridgewater and one from Raritan, are all 18 years old.

On Saturday, July 6, a total of 43 residents reported damaged mailboxes and other property damage to police. The damage was centered in the area of Van Holten and Country Club roads. Some residents reported a large party in the area the previous evening.
